I am also looking for this Thomas Ridyard (my 4th gt grandfather) He is shown as deceased on his daughters marriage in 1845. The death in 1846 is his son Thomas aged 20 so this is ruled out. Been looking for him for a while and no luck.

Thomas is still a mystery to me. I think it will be a matter of searching through the burial records in Holborn between 1828-1841, likely St George the Martyr as that's where the children were baptised.
The Stamford Mercury noted on Elizabeth's death that she was the widow of Thomas Ridyard of London so I believe he died there, which prompted the family to return to Stamford.

Yes, that's a different Thomas. Just had a quick scan through his will and there's no mention of any children. My Thomas would have had 5 by then.

Almost positive Thomas and Elizabeth lived in Holborn. All 5 of their children were born there and as I said, it says he's living in Eagle street on all their baptisms.

Yes Richard is the last known child.

Yes, he was a tailor. He's also listed as a tailor on both Richard and Robert's marriage certificates in 1848 (doesn't mention he's deceased).

I have a huge mystery surrounding my Great x4 Grandfather Thomas RIDYARD. He was born approx. 1790 and died sometime between 1828 and 1841.

What I know:

He married Elizabeth Hill in Stamford, Lincs on 2 Nov 1818. The following year their first child Robert Richard Ridyard was born in 1819 in Holborn, Middlesex.

They remain in Holborn until approx 1828 when their final son, Richard (my Great x3 Grandfather) was born. According to Richard's baptism record at St George's, they lived in Eagle Street, Holborn and he was a tailor.

The family are found back in Stamford, Lincs in the 1841 census - no Thomas with them and I can't find him on his own elsewhere so I assume that he may have died before the census took place.

However, I can't find any record of his death either in burials or BMD records. If anyone can shed any light and give this a fresh look I would very much appreciate it.

Not being able to find his birth or death is giving me epic amounts of frustration!

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.

Could they be brothers? When was William born?

I have found Caleb in 1841 (I think) and he has a younger brother called William, source ref: Class: HO107; Piece 813; Book: 21; Civil Parish: Yardley Hastings; County: Northamptonshire; Enumeration District: 2; Folio: 29; Page: 12

I have connections (very distantly mind you) to the George James Underwood who was one of the murderers. He was eventually sentenced and charged with manslaughter for shooting John Dunkley and was transported to Tasmania. The killing took place on 6th Oct 1840 in Yardley Hastings.

I have quite a bit of information on James, but there's no family connection for me for Dunkley (not that I know of) so I can't help you there.

Thank you. I will try and do some more research, this family line is causing me no end of questions rather than answers.
