My great grandmother, Agnes Ann Woolmington was born in Lydford, Somerset. She married twice. First to Frederick Eldridge (1881 - 1911). After Frederick died she married my grandmother's father whose surname was Chapman. My grandmother's name was Ann Agnes Eldridge and she had a half-brother called George and a half-sister called Patricia. Both with the surname Chapman.
I've drawn a complete blank with regard to either marriage date. I know nothing of Frederick's birthplace or parents and likewise with regard to Mr Chapman.
The Woolmington family is a bit of a mystery too. I believe the father of Agnes Ann might have been James Woolmington b. 1848.
Any assistance that might shed a little light would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Gumshoe

There's a death for a Fred Eldridge for Mar 1911 Christchurch 2b 483.
Christchurch and Havant aren't very far apart, in Hampshire.
Bob.
Except Christchurch is in Dorset, still not that far.

Samuel Woolmington 59 Farm Labourer b Stoford (?), Somerset
Susan (wife) 57 b Stoford, Somerset (?)
James 22 Farm Labourer, b Barwick, Somerset
Edwin 11 Farm Labourer b Barwick, Somerset
There's a birth registration for James Woolmington:- Dec qtr 1849 Yeovil 10 530.
