Hi Tristi
I found this site this morning ...it has wonderful photos from the 1800's -1900's ...some of them are of the Market place (circa 1886-1920's) where I am sure your Samuel Ridgway may have sold his veggies 
I was trying to find an old picture of the post office where yourt rellies used to live ...no luck with that so far.
here is the link;
eeekkkkk , can't post it ...will send you PM

Sarah's parents, Oliver's maternal grandparents, Evelyn's ggrandparents:
George Rossiter b abt1823 Isle Abotts, Somerset m 1839 d 1891 Taunton, Somerset (death cert ordered) Profession: Farm Labourer
Mary Parker b abt1836 Staple Fitzpaire, Somerset d???
hi Tristi
I wonder if we should try to find Sarah's siblings and see when they died ....they may hold clues re; Alzheimers
In 1891 George Rossiter as this under occupation; "ill infirmity, parochial relief" 
mary is still alive in 1901 ...no luck for a death for her

Hi Tristi
Trying to fill in some gaps for you ...have had no luck with deaths
In 1901 John Rossiter b 1874 West Monton is mar and living with his wife Isabel A.
here is their marriage;
John Rossiter = Isabella Alice Singleton
Sept q 1900, Taunton
~~~~~~~~----
This is a possible for Alice Rossiter b 1880 (she had a middle initial D in the censuses ...birth reg ... Alice Delia Rossiter, sept 1879 taunton 5c 352)
Alice Delia Rossiter to either William james Brooks or Ernest William BlackmoreJune q 1901, Taunton 5c 561
then these births:
Ernect C Blackmore june q 1813 Taunton MMN= ROSSITER
Ronald F Blackmore June q 1916 Taunton MMN= ROSSITER

[color=Purple]Just found this conversation - hello everyone!
I had Oliver in my tree already - tho' knew nothing about what a fascinsating life he seems to have led!
Anyway, just to introduce myself.I am descended from Samuel's uncle Thomas Ridgway (1806 - 1872).
Sam's dad was William (1815 - ?) and he and brother Thomas were 2 of 10 kids born to Jacob Ridgway and Jane Bray.
I have a vast Ridg(e)way tree which seems to originate in north Devon and meanders into Somerset and into South Wales.
Am happy to share info if you'd like.
Anyway - good luck with your hunt.
Best wishes
Stessy

Hello there Tristi
Just an observation... is it possible that Willian and Sarah had divorced? Did she go to New Zealand perhaps that is why Oliver ended up there? Just rambling thoughts
regards Jenn

Hi tristiw, just read your blog, Mary is still alive in West Monkton in 1901 with daughter Alice, as Debs mentioned in previous post.
Cannot locate her death, but she could have gone to live with any of her children, as you suggested. Also son James married Louisa Parsons, and is in 1891 / 1901 with his family.
1901 for Mary - RG13 Piece: 2275 Folio 6 Page 3
