You could go and ask the neighbours. They may know what the trees are, and whether the berries are poisonous.

Last ones are elderberries. Edible but stain! The first one I thought at first was wolf berries (goji berries, but the foliage is wrong. Suspect it's woody nightshade (Solanum dulcamara). "Snakeberry (Solanum dulcamera) has egg shaped red berries just like a cherry tomato that contain high levels of the phytochemical solanine. Solanine is known to cause birth defects, hallucinations, convulsions, fits of laughter, coma, and even death."

Agree with most of the above. First is some type of Solanum so probably poisonous and the second looks like elderberry from which you can make wine. Sambucus nigra maybe.

Eat a handful of each and then post the results tomorrow.
If you don't post we'll assume they're poisonous.
