Go to www.freebmd.org.uk & look up the birth of Eliza which was in 1857

Then go to https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp and using the reference etc from freebmd you will find her mothers maiden name - Wheeler

Use freebmd to find an Eldridge/Wheeler marriage

Use the 1861 census to find her with family - www.familysearch.org

Look for Thomas & Eliza on the 1881 census to establish his birthplace

A family tree on Ancestry lists these mother's names, both born on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire.

Thomas Rayner = Jane R Windover (1812 IoW - 1886 IoW)
Eliza F Eldridge = Eliza Wheeler (1833 IoW - ??)

The Isle of Wight FHS has produced BMD indexes and the births database has always recorded the mother's maiden name.  If you are sure that the person was born on the Isle of Wight (from census data perhaps), then it is possibly quicker to search there first.

https://www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/databases/bmd/births

From that there are two names shown in the mms column for Eliza - might be worth following up on that.  Four more children with the same combination of surnames/mms.
