After posting the message in 2001 I contacted Sara Eade who turns out to be a 1st cousin once removed and has provided a lot of info. on Eade family since then. I just wonder where your granfather fits in but need to know more about his family. Did you have great aunts and uncles? My grandmother was the daughter of Nicholas Eade and Mary Ann Dymond nee Hobbs. My grandfather Lillicrap was an only child but can give you more details if needed.
