Reverend James Morgan ridge

[janice07]

Hello,
 I am hoping to contact anyone who is a relative of or knows something about the Rev. James Morgan Ridge, born 1875 at Corndon Marsh, White Gritt, Shropshire.
 I have found him in some of the census's, but it is his life after 1911 that I am interested in and also I would love to get a photo of him (and Family) if possible.
 I know he was a Methodist Minister and that in 1911 he and his family were living in Jersey.  I believe he may have  have moved to a place called Brimfield near Ludlow later on, but I cannot find out for sure. Any information would be great. Many Thanks  Jan.
