The information that I have managed to find is:  Elizabeth Elliot, born 23rd June 1859 to around 1933.  Married David Jack, don't know date.  Children:  Elizabeth, Thomas, Helen, Janet, Davidina, Williamina, Margaret & Jean.  I don't know any of their dates of birth or death.

I don't know if you have found any more info, but in the Wauchope Hall there is/was a couple of plaques on the wall.  One for 1st WW & other for 2nd WW.  I can't remember if they were to commemorate the service people that had died or if it was for everyone from the parish that served.

If you haven't already got the info, the newspaper's name was "The Kelso Chronicle".

I think the William Elliot that you are referring to, isn't thre right one.  I have since discovered that William's father is Henry Elliot, born 1790 and mother Esther Glendinning, born 1795.  I don't know if they were married or not.  I would like to know a bit more about this Henry and his parents if possible.  There is a Henry Elliot that died in Jamaica in, I think, 1818, but I don't know if this is the same one. 

Ellen McVitie (William's first spouse)was born Aug 20 1821 and died June 15 1863.

I am trying to find the parents and grandparents and further back of William Elliot, born either March 2nd 1817 or 1820- December 17th 1897 born at, I think, Ewes or Castleton and died at Peelbraehope and buried at Ewes.  He had 2 marriages 1st to Helen Mc Vittie, 2nd to Elizabeth Little.  He did have quite a few children from both marriages.
