Tracing the Eldridge Family Tree
Hello Janet

Alfred Allen Eldridge was baptised at Battle parish church on 6 April 1856, son of Emery Eldridge and Emily (maiden name Wood). Emery and Emily married at Battle parish church on 9 September 1843.

Emery Eldridge was baptised at Battle on 22 December 1822, son of Thomas Eldridge and Elizabeth (maiden name not known).

My gr gr grandfather is Samuel Eldridge (bap Battle 22 February 1790), brother of your Thomas Eldridge (bap Battle 10 March 1780). They were sons of William Eldridge and Sarah Potter.

So, we're distant cousins!

I have lots of info on Eldridges at Battle so happy to help further.

Kind regards
Caroline

Searching for Margaret Sullivan nee Cooper
Hi
I am trying to find some information about Margaret Cooper who married to become Margaret Sullivan in Battle in the 1970's and went on to give birth to Kathleen Sullivan in 1975. There were 2 children from a previous marriage, Jean and Robert (Harrison). At the moment I believe she and her husband live in Ireland.

Any info would be great.

Thanks,

Mary Kerr
