Hello, I am related to the Hope-Ede family through Elizabeth Hope (1839) who married James Thomas Ede. There is a lovely article with photographs of the New Zealand Hope-Ede family at:
http://www.photohistory-sussex.co.uk/BexhillphotgrsGH.htmElizabeth was the daughter of my 3x great grandparents, William Hope and Elizabeth Graham.
I can share the Hope side of Elizabeth's history with you.
