Mary Free
« on: Monday 07 March 11 13:08 GMT (UK) »
I have been trying for years to CONFIRM that MARY FREE,born c1792, married c1804 in Bucks, actually married WILLIAM RIDGLEY & had a son Daniel.  I assume that, if that is so, she, in all probability, died between 1814 & 1819, as William then married Elizabeth Hawkes c 1819 & produced Jesse Ridgley, my G'g'father in 1819.

I also want to cofirm or otherwise that the William Ridgley in question had George Ridgley & Sarah Buckingham as parents.

Any help or info would be very appreicated,
Thanks

Do you have any clue, as to which part of Buckinghamshire he/they were from.?

I have FREE and RIDGELEY in my tree.  HAWKES rings a bell somewhere as well.

OK Pak, here's what I've found in Princes Risborough PR's.

If these are your rellies, they married in St.Mary's, Princes Risborough, Bucks.

Marriage by Banns - 29 Dec 1814.  William(x)Ridgley (Batchelor of Speen) to Mary Free(Spinster of Speen).   Witnesses - William Williams & Thomas Ayres.

Can't find a baptism in P.Risborough though.

I'll just give you what I've found.

Marriage by Banns - Daniel Ridgley to Joice Lacey (both of the parish).  Witnesses - Joshua Stratton & Joseph Ward.

Baptism - 29 Feb 1808 - Daniel son of Thomas & Sophia Ridgely. (born 21 Jan 1808).

Marriage by Banns - 1 Aug 1836 - Daniel Ridgley to Rebecca Tucker (single and both of Speen).  Witnesses - William Parslow & Thomas Martin.

====================================================================================================

Marriage by Banns - 16 Dec 1819 - William(x)Ridgely(widower of Speen, but belonging to Saunderton parish) to Elizabeth(x)Hawks (Spinster).  Witnesses - Absolom(x)Ridgley & Thomas Ayres.

Marriage by Banns - 1 Apr 1843 - Jesse Ridgeley aged 23.  (batchelor of Speen).  Labourer son of William Ridgeley (Labourer).  to Elizabeth Janes aged 24.  Spinster of Loosley Row.  Lacemaker daughter of William Janes.(Labourer)...  Witnesses - William Ridgeley & John Ayres.


Marriage by Banns - 27 Jan 1844 - William Ridgeley aged 21 of Speen(son of Absolom. Occ. Sawyer) to Jane Hammon aged 20 of Loosley Row(daughter of Thomas Hammon. occ. Labourer).  Witnesses - Moses Lacey & John Ayres.

Hope this helps a bit, and hopefully not confuse.

They are all believed to have been  in the Speen /Princes Risborough / Hughenden area.

Elizabeth HAWKES certainly married my G,G,G,father William Ridgley & produced Jesse R.
(BTW Ridgleys were pretty free with there name spelling - no pun intended!)

It would appear Jesse Ridgley bcame RidgERley when he was sentenced to 7 years Deportation in 1845.

I believe, but can't verify, that the Will & Mary marriage was Sept. 1814 & that Daniel was born c1816.

In the 1841 Census, living in the immediate vicinity of William &Mary, possibly at the same address, was a Daniel Ridgley with his wife Rebekah & a son with forename FREE.
This was in Speen in the parish of Princes Risborough. Jesse appeared to be lodging nearby.

The 1851 shows them to still be in Speen,Princes Risborough together with a Grandson  with forename FREE.
No sign of Daniel & Jesse was touring the Colonies at Q Vics. expense, albeit in irons!

Although these facts would appear to support the "Mary Free" assumptions, they are obviously not conclusive.

As to the George & Sarah parentage I've only managed to find an Absolam  & George Ridgley as their sons,

However Absalom was also nearby in '41 but in '51 altho' still in Speen, a bit further away

I hope I've not swamped you with semi-relevant material  but I think you can see how tantalisingly close it all is!

Thanks for your interest,
Regards,Peter


Oops - I've just seen I've had two more responses while I've been doing the above!  I'll still send it off  - hope you don't mind.   Pete

And there's more......

Lacy Green PR's.

Burials.

3 May 1842 - Joyce Ridgley aged 74.  Wife of Daniel of Lacey Green.
6 Sep 1849 - Daniel Ridgley aged 80. of Wycombe Union House.

Lacey Green. St John the Evangelist was up and running from 1825, so 'took over' to some degree from Princes Risborough, and took in Loosley Row inhabitants as well.  But some 'die hards' continued to go to P.Risborough.

Mary Ridgley(Free) could have been buried in Saunderton, but I haven't got access to there.  A search will cost you £1 from.. http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/

Hope this helps.

Steve I'm going to make this short & sweet  or you'll beat me to it again!!

Thanks a lot for your help which looks pretty conclusive about Mry F especially as it shows Will  R as a "Widower" when he married Eliz. Hawkes!

I  also note that Absaolm was a witness at Will. & Eliz. wedding -two birds with one stone? -well nearly!

Thanks again,
Regards,
Pete
