Thomas Christopher Eldridge was born at Clapham, Surrey on 9 Jan 1859 the son of Christopher Thomas Eldridge, a police constable and Elizabeth Witney. His grandfather Thomas Eldridge was a shoemaker born at Fulham and his great grandfather Christopher Eldridge, who was born at Lubenham, Leicestershire, England was also a shoemaker at Fulham.
Thomas Christopher was a milk boy living with his siblings Jane and John at Steers Terrace Fulham on 2 Apr 1871 when the census was taken. Their father Christopher had died and their mother Elizabeth, who was born at Postcombe in Oxfordshire, was a widowed servant in another household at Fulham on that 1871 census night. Thomas Christopher enlisted in the Royal Navy on his 18th birthday and served for 10 years in various ships.
Following his discharge Thomas married in 1888 to Ellen King of Fulham and they had three children at Fulham. On the 1891 census Thomas was an assistant at Lockharts cocoa room and he was still an assistant at Lockharts Coffee H.O. on the 1901 census. Thomas is thought to have died in the 1930s and Ellen died on 27 Jan 1959.
