I have a Robert (b.1804) & Elizabeth (b.1802) Ridge, married around 1824 in Llanfair Caereinion, in my family tree. In the 1841 census they farmed at ?Tucoch. Next door at Rhosoflo farm are David (b.1776) & Elinor (b.1781) Ridge. Has anyone got access to find out if David & Elinor are Roberts parents?
Maybe it is on the marriage certificate, or you have access to local parish registers. Any piece of info', no matter how small would be gratefully received.

Very interesting

Robert Ridge, bpt. 23 Oct 1803, Llanfair Caerenion. Father David Ridge, Abode - Rhosaflo. Mother - Elinor Thomas, Abode - Llanllodian. Illegitimate.

David and Elinor must have married later - i'll check

Hi Gadget,
That is fantastic info, your a star! Does it give Davids fathers name ?

Two other interesting finds for you - both Llanfair C:

17 June 1775 - David Ridge. Father John Ridge, Abode - Rhosaflo. Mother Jane.

14 May 1786 - David Ridge. Father - John Ridge, Abode - Rhosaflo. Mother - Mary Baily, Abode - Rhiwiraeth

Seems like the Ridge family had a long history at Rhosaflo. It may be worth doing a search on the National Library site:

Hi,
It has been a while since I've looked at the Ridge branch & it will take a day or two to dig out any info; what specifically are you after? What area are your Ridges from?
kind regards.
Sheila
