Help in finding death date please

[Olicana]

Any help in finding death and parents of Alexander (John T A) Ridley would be much appreciated.

He was probably born on 6 May 1887 (from 1939 census) in Lancashire and married Margaret Annie Doel (1900 - 1963) in Westbury, Wiltshire in 1918. They had two children: Sidney J Ridley, born 1921 and Ronald Ridley, 1925–1991. Confirmation of his birth would also be helpful - I can't find it on GRO or FreeBMD

John J A or John T A?  Somebody has noted the 1939 entry as John J A?

Freebmd birth in Salford 1887 for a Jacob James A Ridley.  What was his fathers name on the marriage cert?

[CaroleW]

GRO online shows full names as Jacob James Alexander mmn Thom

Freebmd has a death in 1962

It looks likely he was Jacob James Alexander Ridley as this man’s executor was a Sidney Joseph Ridley.

JJA “Alexander” Ridley, of 4 Norman St, Middleton, Lancs died 6 December 1962.

[CaroleW]

He’s on the 1891 census in Cumberland with grandfather Jacob Ridley and in Lancashire 1901 with parents Joseph & Martha

ADDED:
I can only find one marriage of a Mr RIDLEY to a Miss DOEL, which is the 1918 one.
In case you are unaware there appears to be a possible 5 children from this marriage.
