This Blog is for the most part the story of the family history of our own branch of the Eldridge family. The investigation of the ancestors of Hetty Jane Owen, the wife of Charles Albert Eldridge is now complete, and the tale has resumed with an examination of the line of Charles Albert Eldridge.
James de Carle Sowerby (1787-1871) continued his father’s work, completing the mineral conchology study, and finding time with a cousin to found the Royal Botanic Society and Gardens. He was a mineralogist and illustrator, and counted Michael Faraday amongst his friends. The Sowerbys were then part of the high-end elite of the Victorian scientific community.
