George RIDG(E)WAY born Salop circa 1834

[lahpun]

Hello, looking for any information for a George Ridg(e)way born circa 1834-1838 in Salop England  to father Thomas Ridg(e)way, mother unknown.  He joined the Army date unknown, we think about 1855.  He was in the 30th Regiment of Foot.  We have his army record.   He married in Ireland in 1856 a Maria McDonald.
Children were: Maria born 1859 Dublin and Joseph George Ridg(e)way born 1860 Dublin.
Would like to find more information on George and his ancestors if possible.  George died in America fighting in the Civil War.  Hope someone can help.
