Henry emigrated to Australia on the William of London arriving at Port Fairy Victoria in Jan 1857. He married Mary Ann Amanda Pilgrim on 18 Mar 1857 at the Church of England Warrnambool VIC. Mary had emigrated on the same ship. Their marriage registration shows Henry was a sawyer born Surrey, England aged 27, the son of Thomas Eldridge, a labourer, with Mothers Name unknown and Mary was aged 22, the daughter of George Pilgrim, a sawyer.
