david? father of robert ridge

[welshwonder]

My great grandmother was Sarah Ann Ridge so I have nearly managed to go back to David but anything that you have got would be great as it would really help in understanding the rest of the family .Thank you so much for this I look forward to hearing from you.

I cannot find a Sarah Ann Ridge in my (my husbands) side of the tree. The first Ridge to appear in our tree is a Lucy Ridge born 1874 in Montford Bridge who married John Blower in 1891.
Her parents were Robert Ridge b.1830 (in Llanerfyl) & Emma Sherry b.1842
Roberts parents were another Robert b.1803 who was married to Elizabeth Jones in 1830.
This Robert appears to have been the illegitimate son of a David Ridge b.1775 (at Rhosoflo) & Elinor Thomas b.1781 who married in 1808 and ran the Rhosoflo Farm.
There does appear to be a lot of Ridges in the area and yours may well be a different branch.
There were a few people of that name on the GenesReunited web site, you may be as well to put a post for help on there. You are welcome to look at my tree on that site but I know there are a lot of people who have a lot more names than I do.
Good luck with your searches, kind regards sheila

Thanks for that I do have Daniel Ridge who had an illegitimate son of David with Catherine Evans in 1805 who was from Rhosaflo but I assume that this was a small area around Llanfair , thanks I will look at your tree whom else do you know that has more Ridges in their family tree ? Gosh you could go on forever.
