Title: Ridgway family from Hollingworth and Mottram 1300s to 1900s
Post by: LynneOz on Tuesday 21 September 21 09:58 BST (UK)

I am looking for people associated with the family of Ignatius Ridgway and Hannah How who married in 1767 in Mottram in Longdendale.

Ignatius was the son of James Ridgway and Mary Leech and was brother to James Ridgway the radical publisher of Piccadilly.

James Ridgway appears to have been born in 1724 since his will shows he died in 1814 and he was 90 years old. The family seems to have been securely bound to Hollingworth/Stalybride/Dukinfield for many hundreds of years.

James' parents appear to have been John Ridgway and Elizabeth Kelsall, so John must have been born before 1703 but it does not look as though the digial records go back that far.

If anyone can do a look up for John Ridgway of Hollingworth or Mottram for 1680-1703 that would be great.

Thanks.

Thanks Heatherjulie.  I don't suppose you have any further information on Ridgways from Hollingworth or Mottram. If you do I would really appreciate a conversation.

By the way - my G Grandmother was born in Mottram in 1876
Zipporah Williamson   - so if you find any Williamson pops up in your research could you let me know please
my earliest in Mottram is James Williamson b 1831 - he married Marjery Kay b 1826 in Penistone (Yorkshire border )
