Hi Cannie Lad and Peonynon,
I too have Daniel Ridgley, b1771, as my g.g.g.g.grandfather, with Soloman as my ancestor and his son Daniel. b. 30 March 1824, then William, b.1850 and William Alfred, b. 1869.
Since these posts, have you manage to get any further on the Ridgley line?
Also, do you have anything on Elizabeth Pearce's parents or on Joyce Lacey, Daniel's wife - are her parents Richard and Joyce?
Regards
D
