And, also in "Hallamshire cutlers", there is a George Elliot, (1) son of Thomas, apprenticed to Dalton Cornelius, cutler, F 1734 (fits the description above), (2) F 1751, (3) F 1764

One "pickle" with these last onces: this is Elliott, not Elliot...

I don't know how I'd missed this post, thanks for turning that up. It might not be a 'pickle', as a lot of the early books and registries contain errors. It could be that they put an extra T there where it wasn't supposed to be.
