Frederick Charles Eldridge was born in Sittingbourne, Kent

Assuming the DOB on the 1939 is correct, he died in Greenwich reg.

A Frederick Eldridge was cremated at Eltham Crematorium, Greenwich on 12 Sep 1983 having died 5 Sep at Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup. The register scan says he was married, lived in Wilmington, and the person who arranged the cremation was Maude Eldridge at the same address.

So 3 questions -
Who was the wife he married after 1911 & had died before 29 Sep 1939?
Is the cremation for the same man?
If so, who is Maude?

Its probably staring me in the face!

could this be Frederick A

Actually, I think the Frederick Eldridge who was cremated could have been unrelated this guy

well someone living in that area the nearest crem would be Sidcup

my parents lived in Charlton and died in the Greenwich reg district The choice was either Sidcup or Eltham for the cremations and Eltham was the chosen one

As you say, its a toss up between Eltham & Sidcup. Where we live it's a choice between Eltham & Bluebell Hill although there has been planning permission for one closer to Gravesend. Not sure if that's up & running yet.

Would you agree the Sep cremation isn't for my Frederick Charles Eldridge?

but the death for the right birthdate could still be your man and he was in hospital in greenwich when he died

for instance my BIL lived in Herne Bay Kent and had a main aorta aneurism . Canterbury hospital didnt have the expertise to do the operation and he was transferred to Miller hospital in greenwich where he sadly died
( hospital no longer there )
he was brought back to Herne Bay in Kent for burial

i would be inclined to get that death cert

Good idea. He's close enough to the main branch to warrant it.
Thank you for your help. :-)

Looks like Alice Milner may also have been from a 'Police family' ?

Maybe that's how they met?
