Cousin Josephine Patterson told me;
Tappin, Thomas and John Elliott are brothers.
They are of Sandvoort, Canje.
They were School Teachers.
The Anancy stories that Messrs: Tappin Elliott, Bentick, John and Tuckness Sancho were Princes in Africa. That Mr. Tappin Elliott was born in Africa - must all, be put to rest and never be repeated. Such, claims are similar to those I learnt as a youngster in New Amsterdam.

Family, we must aspire to learn and accept the truth. Teach, ourselves the truth, teach, the children the truth, and nothing but the truth. The truth is Mr. Tappin Johnson Elliott was born between 1853 to 1857, in Sandvoort, a little village, a farming community, on the Canje River, in the County of Berbice. Indications are Mr. Tappin Johnson Elliott, and two of his siblings; John and Thomas R. F. Elliott, emerged from humble beginnings of a Afro centric rural and communal society. They became gainfully employed in the field of education as school teachers. Mr. Elliott was knowledge enough to pass the entrance examination, being selected and attended the Bishop's College for the Training of Teachers from 1872 to 1875. Among the group of Schoolmasters who were Student Teachers trained at Bishop's College, (1872 - 1875), are the following; Mr. Joseph A. Parkinson; Tappin Elliott's closest friend, who also became a resident of the Golden Grove and Nabaclis community, Mr. Daniel E. Sharples (Head Master for 40 years at St. Thomas Scots School, beginning on July 1, 1876), Mr. Paul A. Jones (Head Master, Taymouth Manor), and Mr. F. A. R. Sutherland (Head Master, Danielstown).
Mr. Thomas Elliott, was the schoolmaster at Plaisance Congregational school in 1886, and at Main Street Roman Catholic school in 1888.
The scenario is, Mr. Tappin Elliott married Miss Annie Sophia Sandy, and they reproduced a family of the following nine known children; Henry J. Elliott, Wilfred R. Elliott, Mildred Angela Elliott, Alice Matilda Elliott, Edward S. Elliott, Sophia Annie Mizpah Elliott, Sidney B. Elliott, Annie Kathleen Elliott, and Victoria Lavina Elliott. Three of his daughters; Alice Matilda Elliott, Annie Kathleen Elliott, and Victoria Lavina Elliott, and two of his sons - in - law, the brothers; Prince Josephus Patterson brothers; Prince Josephus Patterson, and Cecil Orpheus Philbertus Patterson, were school teachers. The Patterson brothers also became School Masters, and their sister was also a school teacher.
Mr. Tappin Elliott was certainly a member of the working class, and actively participated in organizations which promoted the soci-economic development process in the Golden Grove and Nabaclis district. It is said Mr. Tappin Elliott employed the donkey and cart as his preferred means of transportation, when he embarked upon his many sojourns to conduct his activities. It is noted Mr. Tappin Elliott, and his son, Mr. Wilfred Elliott were participants at the same period, in organizations within the Golden Grove and Nabaclis community. There is no doubt Mr. Wilfred Elliott was influenced by his father. Mr. Ernest Elliott, is continuing in such a tradition of community affairs, the legacy of his ancestors; Mr. Tappin Johnson Elliott, his grand father, and indeed, a founding father of the district, Mr. Christopher "Boss" Bentick Sancho, his great great grand father.

Mr. Tappin Elliott was the Registrar of Births and Deaths, for the region which included, Golden Grove and Nabaclis district, for many years. Mr. Joseph Alfred Trotman was the Deputy Registrar of Births and Deaths. Miss Victoria Lavina Elliott succeeded her father in the office, with her sister, Mrs. Mildred Angela (nee Elliott) Patterson as the Deputy. Mrs. Patterson became the Registrar of Births and Deaths, following her sister's death in February, 1945, and held the office until Miss Josephine Patterson, her daughter, followed in the footsteps of her grand father, aunt, and mother, in that capacity in the region, until the PNC Government saw it fit to reform the colonial system.
The Elliotts, are a family of teachers, for a noticeable amount of the members of the Elliott clan were gainfully employed in the field of Education. Keith Jeune, Josephine Patterson, Abiola Willis, Ave Willis, and Paulette Willis, I would not be at all shocked to learn that today, such a statement would still very truthful. Thus, the Elliotts, descendants of Sancho, are a family, who made an indelible mark and created a legacy as a family of Teachers, Registrars of Births and Deaths, and participants in Community Development in Golden Grove and Nabaclis, and neighbouring communities.
Research, both the oral and the scientific, must be continued, until all the required data, and information is known, and made readily available, to person who are interested in such; matters. The annals of colonialism in British Guiana, are great sources of information. The following are all very likely to provide data on Mr. Tappin Johnson Elliott, and others of his era;
Newspapers - the Daily chronicle, the Daily Argosy - for events such as announcements of marriage, death, and obituary.

East Coast Almanack and Directory for the year, 1888.
The directory for 1883 on page 66, tells readers of eight person surnamed; Elliott, including three teachers; Mr. Elliott, Teacher, and Catechist, Supply, E. C., Mr. T. R. F. Elliott, Teacher and Catechist, Zorg, Essequebo, and Mr. T. R. F. Elliott, Teacher, Lodge Village.
Questions;
Which of these are John, Tappin and Thomas Elliott?
Noting the two entries; Mr. T. R. F. Elliott, Teacher, is this an error?
What is the manner of the relationship between Tappin Elliott and the Elliotts named in the Directory?
Why was there no persons surnamed Sancho listed in the directory?
I wonder what are the honest answers to the following questions;
How, when, and where did Tappin Elliott encounter Annie Sophia Sandy?
When were Tappin Elliott and Annie Sophia Sandy, married?
What are the dates of births of Bentick Sancho, John Sancho, Tuckness Sancho, Lambert Tuckness Sancho, Mary Sandy, Annie Sophia Sandy, John Elliott, Tappin Elliott, Thomas Elliott, Sarah Sandy, Alexander Sancho, Rachel Sancho, Catherine Elizabeth Archer, James Campbell, Christy Sancho, Swainton Sancho, Edith Sharper, Annie Kathleen Elliott, Prince Josephus Patterson, and Joseph Sylvester Willis?
What are the dates of deaths of Bentick Sancho, John Sancho, Benjamin Sandy, Mary Sandy, John Elliott, Tappin Elliott, Thomas Elliott, Sarah Sandy, Alexander Sancho, Rachel Sancho, Catherine Elizabeth Archer, James Campbell, Christy Sancho, Swainton Sancho, Edith Sharper, Cecil Orpheus Philbertus Patterson, and Joseph Sylvester Willis?
Who is the first teacher of the Sancho family?
Was Sarah Sandy employed as a teacher prior to being introduced to Mr. Tappin Elliott?
What influence if any did Thomas Arthur Archer had upon Tappin Elliott forming a union with Sancho or was it visa versa?
Was Catherine Elizabeth Sancho a teacher prior to marrying Thomas Arthur Archer in 1888?
What influence, if any, did the following; Tappin Elliott, Alice Matilda Elliott, Annie Kathleen Elliott, Sarah Sandy, Prince Josephus Patterson, Cecil Orpheus Philbertus Patterson, and Ruby Sancho, have upon Muriel Sancho pursuing a career as a School teacher?
I was informed that Dear Aunt Sarah Sandy instructed all of Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Rachel Sancho's children at Golden Grove Wesleyan School. Thus, I believe Teacher Sandy was the most profound source influence in the career choice of Muriel Sancho - I am not certain. Could have been Joseph Alfred Trotman - I heard his name too many times to ever forget it.
