Hello there All
well now I received a copy today of the Divorce records for OLIVER RIDGEWAY AND ELLEN RIDGEWAY
Now the gist of it. dated 21/12/1914
Oliver Ridgway lived at Fegan Street West Wallsend NSW
and the corespondent William J J Reader at 116 Upper Fort Street sydney.
1. Oliver Ridgeway the petitioner married to Ellen Parsons on the 25th December 1907 at West Monckton near Taunton Somersetshire England
2. children at the time of the divorce Olive four years and eleven months and Evelyn three years and eleven months
3. I am a native of Hobart Tasmania living in NSW
4. I beleive that the respondent is a native of Bathpool Taunton Somersetshire England
the next bit deals with the adultery which I will leave out for the moment
Oliver also asked for the permanent custody of both children
Now when I received the divorce records today the transcriber's attached letter said it was the smallest divorce file I have come across usually they are much bigger and have lots of more interesting items.
So now what does everyon think is it the Right Oliver Ridgway and wife?
One would have to think it just might be. (Hooray)
kind regards Jenn

Fantastic....Jenn, Tristi
This story (family history) was like it was just waiting for Tristi to unfold, with a little help from her cyber friends,  And perhaps beyond with all the coincidences etc, that have happened 
Read the latest blog....I am sooo glad about the positivity from your newfound family Tristi...
How wonderful Jenn...for you to do this for her, Rootschat is a wonderful community, so glad I can surf cyberspace with people like you
Awww.... sorry we cannot get to know the 'Juicy bits' but no matter.
Best Wishes
Cas

Hi
Don't know if you've got anywhere with Sam's siblings - thought I'd offer what I've found in the past - you should probably check it tho' - as it's all quite distant for me!
Elizabeth (1838) married Henry Vickery in 1854 - I've found 7 kids, many born in Spaxton. THink she died in Bridgwater aged 47 in 1881.
John married Ann Bartholomew, had 5 kids in and around Bridgwater.
William married Jane ?, died 1879 Bridgwater with 4 kids.
Sarah Ann (1847) - there are a few possible marriages, but haven't been able to find her under a married name.
Hope that gives you some foof for thought.
Best wishes
Stessy
