They're all so long ago that its not worth contacting the crematorium/cemetery or funeral directors. Although they wouldn't give out contact addresses, there's an outside chance they'd pass on a letter.

We crossed!
I have met a one name researcher and I think they tend to have tunnel vision...no insult intended, but not much outside the box!
I will try Robert if this gets to one of those brick walls....Alison

Thanks for quick response, +++DetEcTive+++!

All I have in Australia came from this tree:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~rgkje/eldridge/we3.html
- Apart from one death in 1967 of child Keith Eldridge.

The owner of this tree, a 'one name' research, I think is unlikely to know any more than he says in the first paragraphs......
Tilden is obviously a family first name.

We knew the parents as Connie and Theo.
'Jeffery Theodore William' is right in 2003, but no contact?

I have messaged an Evan Eldridge on GR but no answer yet.
And, I think Constance is possibly still alive. (No death found...85?)

Thanks again - Alison

Scroll to the bottom & you'll see an email address for the site owner. Send him a message to see if he can provide further details. It may turn out that he's only compiled it from other online trees.

A GR member, Valerie, lives in Australia. She's very good at winkling out records. Lets hope she spots this thread and can assist!

Jeffrey was still in WA as of 2003
https://abr.business.gov.au/AbnHistory/View/63820336048

The main business location was WA 6056.
Looking on the White Pages online phone book, there is an entry for a J S Eldridge with the same code. Could they be related or is just a coincidence?

Assuming they remained in Western Australia, there is a problem searching for BMD.
According to the WA government site, online records are only available for the following years

BIRTHS (1841-1932)
DEATHS (1841-1971)
MARRIAGES (1841-1936)

I've a suspicion that Ancestry is playing up at the moment as the only record for Tilden is when his family arrived. Could he have been known by another name or a diminutive?

Have you messaged the people who have supplied the additional surnames? Have you checked All Members Trees on this site? Select that option from the drop down Search menu, top right of the page.

As it might help to know dates of birth - those of June & Jeffery edited as they may still be living. From National Archives of Australia record search, Immigration & Naturalisation

ELDRIDGE Tilden Theodore born 13 August 1901; Constance Maud (nee Davies) born 1 August 1898; June Constance born 1932; Jeffrey Theodore William born 1934; departing UK under the Ex-servicemens Free Passage Scheme

I am in England and looking for members of the family of ELDRIDGE I used to know who left here in 1948 on the Mooltan and landed in Fremantle, Australia.
My mother was their cousin.
The children were June and Jeffery and were in their teens at the time.
The family possibly stayed around Perth?

Surnames of spouses in the next generation:
- ANDERSON, McDANIEL and PERRET-CLAPHAM.

Any contacts please? I only have these details from one family tree online.
Thanks for any current information - Alison Little
