If you try the Notre Dame des Neiges cemetery where most Montrealers were
buried (not all)
http://www.cimetierenddn.org/en/services/necrologie/recherche.asp and
type in Elliot ONLY in the last name part there's a couple of James Elliot
and going by the dates you take James Elliot concession or plot number 00484
and go back and type in ONLY the concession number and you'll find there are
many Farrells buried with him as well as other surnames you may recognize.
