At the 1881 Census he was still living with his parents at 3 Aldridge Road Villas, London, Middlesex.
The "InGeneas Database" includes a Port of Halifax passenger record (ship named "Oregon") showing that William went to Canada in 1884, possibly to visit his brother Howard Henry who had migrated there circa 1880. Another passenger manifest recorded him travelling from Glasgow to New York in 1890.
In 1924 William published the document "Ellerton (A history of the family)" providing details of his grandfather's work in translating the New Testament into the Bengali language while in India. As far is known he later became a solicitor in London.
The passenger manifest of the "SS Olympic" departing from Southampton on 30/7/1925 and arriving in New York six days later, included William and Edmond [sic; aged 21 yrs 6 mths; "student"] - citing their nearest relative (wife/mother) as Alice Ellerton, 50 Birford Gardens, London E13.

Edmund, "lecturer and instructor at Liverpool University", had been appointed
head of the School of Architecture at the School of Art [Manchester?]. A
notice in the 19/7/1940 edition of the London Gazette reported that Edmund's partnership Mayell
Lockton & Ellerton, Architects and Surveyors (St.

migrated to Canada in 1956, and settled in Rockcliffe Park Village (just outside
Ottawa) where he was a senior architect to the Canadian Government. The list of interments for the Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery, Surrey,
Canada shows that
