I'm trying to trace the history of an ELDRID family.  Three of them appear on the 1911 census, http://hanleyswan.net/history/census-returns/hanley-castle-census-1911/

Eldrid, Annie Servant Widowed  45 Housekeeper Edgbaston, Warwick
Eldrid, Gladys May Boarder Single 18 Governess Moseley, Warwick
Eldrid, Phyllis Madge Boarder  7 Scholar Worcester

I think the father in this family was Joseph Walter ELDRID, who died in 1903/1904:

Deaths Mar 1904   ELDRID  Joseph Walter  63  Worcester  6c 173

and that a possible marriage of Joseph and Annie took place in 1900 (although the location is surprising!):

Marriages Dec 1900   Eldrid  Joseph Walter    Dee  Annie    Liverpool  8b 113

Joseph and Annie are together on the 1901 census.

This would mean that Gladys May ELDRID was born before the marriage, and so probably(?) took the surname ELDRID at a later date.  There is a possible birth for Gladys:

Births Sep 1892     Dee  Gladys May     Aston  6d 254

although the RD does not quite match that given on the 1911 census.

So, to summarise, I would like to find out more about the births and possible previous marriages of Joseph and Annie.  Also when Gladys took the surname ELDRID.

Any help much appreciated.

I'm trying to find what became of Joseph Birkin EDWARDS (born 1877, Clay Cross, Derbyshire) and his wife Jane May (nee ROGERS, born 1879, Panteg, Monmouthshire).  Joseph and Jane married in 1909 and at the time of the 1911 census were living in North Villa, Gilfach Goch.  Joseph was a Police Sergeant.  I realise that if they had children these might still be living, so I am not asking for information regarding these to be posted here.

Any help much appreciated.

Isabella married Robert STEWART 20 Jul 1906 in Glasgow.   The marriage record shows that she is 25, and her parents are James KELSO, a Sewing Machine Labourer and Annie DOTHART.  Isabella's address is in Glasgow, they married in Glasgow.

I'm unable to find a marriage record for James and Annie, nor a birth record for Isabella between 1880 and 1882.  There is a birth in 1878, but it is not 'my' Isabella.  I cannot find them on the 1881 (LDS) either, although Isabella my not have been born by then.  I'm starting to wonder if the KELSOs were of Irish descent.

Please can anyone help with this?  Any census record giving a place of birth for James, Annie or Isabella would be very helpful. 

I'm hoping someone can help me find more details about Charles.  He was born in Great Barrington, Gloucestershire, England.   On the UK census in 1851, 1861 and 1871 with parents and siblings, can't find him on the 1881 UK census.

I have found a tree on WorldConnect (I have emailed the tree owner, but no response as yet) which suggests that he died in Wairoa.    The tree also says that he married Sarah Willett 12 Oct 1872 in Great Barrington, and that Sarah remarried 29 Aug 1875 in Wairoa.

So I'm hoping some kind soul can help me with details of a voyage from UK to NZ (presumably Charles and Sarah) and possibly with details of Charles' death.

I don't have much experience of NZ genealogy (most of my tree is UK).  Many thanks for any help.
