He did not stand again in 1847.[4]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 1832.[5]

Elphinstone was the son of Lt.-Gen. Sir Howard Elphinstone, 1st Baronet (1773–1846) and Frances Warburton (died 1858). He was a barrister, and had the degrees of MA and Doctor of Civil Law (D.C.L.). He married Elizabeth Julia Curteis, in 1829, and they had two children.[6]
He succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1846, and on his death was succeeded by his son Howard Warburton Elphinstone (1830–1917).[6]
