    • "Bucks Herald" 10 Jul 1897, page 7:
      At St. Peter's Church, Eaton-square, on Saturday afternoon was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Christian Edward Cornwallis Eliot, third son of Colonel the Hon. Charles Eliot (Comptroller to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Christian), and Miss Laura Grey Chetwode, second daughter of Lieut-Colonel Sir George Chetwode, sixth Baronet, and Lady Chetwode, of Oakley, Market Drayton, and Chetwode, Buckinghamshire. The Rev. the Earl of Bessborough performed the ceremony, assisted by the Rev. John Storrs, vicar of St. Peter's. The bride was given away by her father, and the Hon. Kenneth Campbell attended the bridegroom as best man. There were ten bridesmaids, including Miss Florence H. Chetwode, sister of the bride, and Miss Evelyn Eliot, sister of the bridegroom. After the ceremony Sir George and Lady Chetwode gave a reception at their residence in Pont-street, which was very largely attended. Afterwards Mr. and Mrs. Christian Eliot took their departure for Market Drayton, en route for their honeymoon tour in Scotland. The presents numbered about 400, including gifts from Prince and Princess Christian, and Princess Frederica of Hanover.
