I believe that Arthur Aldridge was the brother of my grandfather William Peachey Aldridge . Arthur was born in Auckland Nz in 1888 6th of nine surviving children of Pastor George Aldridge and his wife Margaret Ann Aldridge nee Peachey. There are numerous descendants. I have a family tree going back to Reuben Peachy c1755 and his wife Elizabeth Godfrey and a bit further on the Aldridge side. I am not a good typist so if anyone is interested I will photocopy and send what data I have. If the connection is correct (I haven't been able to find any other Arthur Aldridge born in Auckland NZ during that period) Arthur went to Australia and disappeared. leaving a family behind. My mother saw a photograph of him in a group of people last seen in New Guinea who were killed by headhunters. She did not tell my grandfather as she knew that the news would distress him very much.. my email adress is margaretcarran@gmail.com. I will not be using the internet until next week as I will be away.

Arthur was born 1886 not 1888 my typo. Using a different search I see that there were other Arthur Aldridges born about the same time but given the Peachey connection this is almost certainly the right one.
