Jesse Elliston (3 March 1806[1] – 26 July 1853) was a proprietor of Elliston & Cavell, which became the leading department store in Oxford, England.
He owned a draper's shop in central Oxford when his sister, Sarah Elliston of Summertown in north Oxford, married John Cavell on 9 April 1835.
In 1853, after feeling unwell for a week, the 47-year-old Elliston collapsed and died suddenly while walking in the Banbury Road on his way to Summertown.
[2] Cavell subsequently took over the running of the shop.
