Son of a Lewes-born architect and surveyor, who left Brighton for Berkshire and then Bermondsey, where William was born, soon before he died in 1852. His local work as an architect was confined to a three-year period at a very young age and evidence for his life is dubious. He married Fanny Harrison (1856-1902) at St Peter's Church, Brighton in 1875. In the following year, when his wife sued for divorce on grounds of physical abuse, he gave his address as that of Holford & Clayton. The case was dismissed and Eldridge soon returned to London, where he held various jobs; in 1880 he married Eliza, a school board teacher, although there is no sign of a divorce being consented. He appears to have been discharged from Lambeth workhouse in 1912 and emigrated to Hobart, Tasmania but the evidence is questionable.
