Elliott lived the life of a Catholic priest and never got married even though the institution of marriage was optional in the Anglican Church.
From 1945 to 1955, Eliott occupied the Cathedra at the Ephiphany Cathedral, Dornakal until his transfer in 1955 to the adjoining Diocese of Krishna-Godavari.
Elliott moved to Eluru in 1955[9] following his transfer by the Church of South India Synod to the Diocese of Krishna-Godavari to fill the sede vacante caused by the sudden death of Bishop Y. Muthyalu.
[10] The Church of South India Synod appointed P. Solomon as Bishop - in - Dornakal in the place of Elliott.
Elliott moved to Alair,[1] Warangal District, where he remained until his death on 19[1] December 1970 and was buried in the courtyard[1] of the CSI-Epiphany Cathedral in Dornakal.
