Elidor Campbell was born 7 May 1881 in Cawdor Castle, Nairnshire, Scotland, United Kingdom to Frederick Archibald Vaughan Campbell, 3rd Earl Cawdor (1847-1911) and Edith Georgiana Turnor (1844-1926) and died 15 December 1957 of unspecified causes. He married Violet Antoniette Bulwer-Marsh (c1882-1975) .

His father's father's mother's father's mother was a great-great-great-great-aunt of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (1926) (through the late Queen Mother, a daughter of Nina Cavendish-Bentinck), which makes Elidor and his siblings that monarch's fifth-cousins.

Elidor occasionally visited the Weigall home. Priscilla Weigall described him in this way to his out-of-wedlock daughter in 1975: "Heather, he was a dear man, quiet but charming, someone I especially liked. Of all the hordes of people, he was my favourite. He was so gentle and patient, always the same, different as chalk and cheese to Mummy's temperament.[1]"
