wife of Charles E Rice and daughter of Mary (Gray) and the Reverend John Fisher Garrett. She and her twin brother John Herbert Garrett were born in 1869 in Elton, Derbershire. They were baptised at Elton on 16 January 1870. She is shown in the 1881 census as living at Sandwell Hall, a West Bromwich, Staffordshire boarding school. The 1891 census shows her as a "visitor" in the home of Marion Withers in Epsom, Surry and her profession as artist. Elsie studied at the Slade School of Art, London before teaching at Bedales. They had one son and one daughter: Lieutenant Edmund Gabriel Rice and Agnes "Rosemary" Hawthorne. In 1901 she is married living with her husband and children at Hampstead. Later she lived in South Africa where she illustrated Wild Flowers of The Cape of Good Hope.
----------------
Baptized at Elton, a long way from Walton on Trent, by her father who is the rector there, on 16 January 1870. Birth registered at Bakewell in that quarter, so she must have been born no more than 40 days before, that is late November 1869 at the earliest. A Garrett family report her birth date 24 November, without provenance.
