Hi
This looks like your family on the 1871 census, Radwinter is a sub district of Saffron Waldon
David Ridgewell 9 Radwinter, Essex, England Radwinter Essex
James Ridgewell 62 Radwinter, Essex, England Head Radwinter Essex
Julia Ridgewell 56 Radwinter, Essex, England Wife Radwinter Essex
Walter Ridgewell 15 Radwinter, Essex, England Radwinter Essex
Source information: RG10/1710
Registration district: Saffron Walden
Sub-registration district: Radwinter
ED, institution, or vessel: 5
Folio: 59
Page: 6
Household schedule number: 29
the address looks like Water Lane
David Ridgewell is listed as an ag lab (agricultural labourer)
I think this is his birth details
RIDGEWELL, David William 1861 June Saffron Walden Essex Vol 4a Page 385
with these details you would be able to obtain his birth certificate.
Hope this is of help.

:)Thank you so much to Sue for the information you sent me. In the 1871 census there living in Julia and James Ridgewell household was a Walter and David Ridgewell, Walter was about 15 and David who is my Great Grandfather than in the 1881 Walter is not listed and i can not fine anything on him, but there is a Isabella Ridgewell listed as Granddaughter age 13 and I can not fine info on her since than . This whole family is one big mistery. I got info on my Grandfather and his wife Elizabeth but then there is a mistory on that because a aunt Billie said that there oldest son was Cliton Royal and he was born in 1998 my Grandfather was born in 1891 but is not mention in the 1900 or 1910 census for there house in Duluth MN. ??? Thanks for any help
