Karen,
From the ledgible print on the headstone I read:
Edward Eldridge, died February 11th 1896 aged 71; Philadelphia Eldridge, died December 29th 1892 aged 74;
and "to the memory of" Jesse Eldridge,died December14th 1904 aged 52.
The inscription about Jesse is covered by a heavy layer of mould and the print under this is difficult to read. So he was born about 1852 and is a nephew to the Jesse born circa 1825.(more likely 1828)
Jesse Eldridge, born circa 1828 at Udimore, Sussex, England married Lucy unknown, born 1830 at Guestling, Sussex.
I hope this helps.
Doug Eldridge
