Hi Brian
I hope this catches up with you as it is some time since you posted.
I can't give you any information about Hon Robert Neilson but I can update you (if needed) on Eliza Neilson who married Thomas Bligh Darracott, probably in Trinidad. When Thomas B died and his wife returned to England they did not stay there ! She moved to Malta with daughters Jane, Eliza and Rosa and died there in 1885. Daughter Jane had died the previous year of diphtheria. Eliza never married and died on Malta in 1927.
Younger sister Rosa appears to have married my Scots relative (g Uncle Dr Neil Oman and they had a daughter in 1884. I haven't tracked her down but my prime suspect is a Jane Darracott Brookes who died in 1971 on Malta. The coincidence of names is too close isn't it ?
Do you have any more info or is it too far out to the side for your searches ?
