Richard Eldridge married Mercy Bubbers on 21 Oct 1787 at All Saints, Canterbury, Kent, England. Their children John, Richard and Mary were baptised at Selling, Kent before Richard died and Mercy remarried in 1794 at Canterbury Cathedral to John Baynes.
John Eldridge, son of Richard and Mercy, and Ann had had nine children baptised at Canterbury between 1812 and 1834. John was a shoemaker and later a sweetmeat shopkeeper. His son Charles was also a shoemaker at Canterbury and his son Charles must have travelled to the United States of America and Canada as his children Beatrice is shown born at Jersey City, USA and Ruby born at Toronto, Canada, on the 1901 English census.
Richard Eldridge, son of Richard and Mercy, married Martha Nash on 25 Dec 1816 at St Dunstans Church, Canterbury, Kent. He was a Customs House Officer born in Selling. Two of their sons, Daniel Edward and George William, along with Daniels wife Eliza, emigrated to Australia. They left Gravesend in Oct 1857 on the Maidstone and arrived at Melbourne, Victoria on 14 Jan 1858. The passenger list shows Daniel as a merchant aged 27, Eliza his wife aged 28 and George as a single male mariner aged 23. Daniel and George may have earlier visited New South Wales being the Mr D and Mr G Eldridge who arrived in Sydney on 17 Mar 1854 on the Templar from London on 16 Nov.
Edward Eldridge, who was a nephew of Daniel Edward Eldridge, migrated aged 17 to Sydney on the Severn arriving on 10 Oct 1863 and he was shown as the son of Mary Ann and William. A deposit had been paid the previous year by George Eldridge. Edward is thought to be the son of Mary Ann Eldridge who later married William Ruffell. Edward drowned in Sydney Harbour in 1865.
Lily Eldridge, known as Lilian, a great great granddaughter of Richard and Mercy migrated to the USA on the Philadelphia departing Southampton on 7 Sep 1907 and arriving at New York on 14 Sep 1907.
