Title: Batism Lookup - RIDYARD
Post by: SarahH on Saturday 12 May 07 14:28 BST (UK)
Hi
I'm on the trail of a Richard Ridyard, born about 1829. His place of birth is given as Middlesex in all the census returns I've found him in, despite him marrying in Northamptonshire and bringing up his children there.
I would love it if anyone was able to track his baptism/birth down for me, as I'm having difficulty finding anything.

Thanks!

Also baptised that day to the same parents:

Kind regards

Hi,

Remembering the rounding down of ages, this looks possible for the family in 1841,


1841  HO107/625/7  f.40  p.28  St George, Lincolnshire
Borough of Stamford
Gas Lane

Elizabeth RIDYARD   50
Robert         "         20    Silk ph?? Weaver   
Mary           "         15
Elizabeth      "         15
Thomas RIDYARD     15
Richard        "         15   


Stamford is only about 23 miles from Kettering, Northamptonshire, where Richard later married and lived.


Regards
Daisy

Sarah hasn't been online here since 2009, hopefully she hasn't changed email address or switched off her notifications, will know we've posted, and come back here soon.

Hello!

What a pleasent surprise to find this thread had been updated! I've been taking a break from the family as of late, but it's really wonderful of you to look up the baptism for me! Very much appreciated. Thank you Gaie!

DaisyPetal - yes I had attributed that census entry to the family myself but always good to get a second opinion.
