    • He was a widower when he married Ellen Camilla Mary Anne Cumberbatch The Lloyds of Harley Street - SoG Volume 1 Page 79).

      His will was proved August 1897 and showed: 'of Candlli on the Bosphorus and Galata in Constantinople'. The value of hos estate was £2268.11.6d. His widow Ellen C.M.A. Clifton continued to reside at the house known as the 'Yali' (i.e. the Big House) with her three daughters until they all married when, following the death in 1909 of her stepson, Charles Plummer Clifton, the house was sold. It was burned down during WWI following the sinking of a small oil tanker in the Bosphorus but in April 1971 the stone built house, upon which the main house had been erected, was still clearly visible with a more recent building upon it (The Lloyds of Harley Street - SoG Volume 1 Page 79).
