HiI have an ELD as a high DNA match, also Newbolds, it seems though that my main candidate for my grandfather could be a John Thomas STANIFORTH b1899 Belton Leicestershire (Never Married)
I have a tree which has an Eld family from Sheepy Magna Leicestershire.
I see no matches to my direct line Newbolds however thought I would just check where they lived.
Bearing in mind my direct line is a female Newbold b in 1796 Exton Rutland and I know they were in Exton for at least 100yrs prior, families at that time had many children, so your line is potentially/ possibly one of the male Newbold siblings which I have not researched fully.
Her parents were John/Elizabeth ( Walker) Newbold who had 4 sons, only one lived ( George) to go onto having children, he had 2 sons, Eli and George, Eli had one son and George 7 sons from mid 1850, some of them/their families moved to Lincolnshire or Leicestershire..... there are several Charles in my line and one Frank.
Charles and family including one son Frank in the 1911 were in Queniborough Leicestershire.
So, mainly Lincolnshire/Rutland border towns/villages and some moved to the Rutland/Leicester border, so places like Wymondham and Queninborough Leicestershire and those lines had moved from Exton and Cottesmore Rutland and many of those later desendants who I have researched went onto migrate to places like Canada and the US.
Charles Newbold seems only to have had one son, Charles, born in 1924.
I can see five children for Frank, but they were all girls. Violet, his wife, nee Dixon, had one child by a previous marriage, but also a girl in 1914.

A possibly stupid question, sorry. I'm making the assumption that your parents were born and married in England or Wales. If so then it should be fairly simple to trace their parents. I'm not that conversant with Australian records, but the few marriage certificates I do possess show both sets of parents.
There is a Matthew Eld living in Leicester in Leicester but we can't give details of living people.
It should be possible to find out his ancestry through the usual BMD records etc.
I managed to get back quite quickly and I think I found his ancestor, Cyril, born in 1904.
However, he was born before his parents married but, given his middle name, his father was Charles Eld.
KIRKLAND, CYRIL ELA (ELD?) - no mother's maiden name
