So far below are the only things I can find. 

1841 - Heath Bank, Prees, Wem & Whitchurch, Shropshire
Thomas   Ridgeway   Male   60   1781   Shropshire, England
Mary   Ridgeway   Female   55   1786   Shropshire, England
Sarah   Ridgeway   Female   30   1811   Shropshire, England
George   Ridgeway   Male   7   1834   Shropshire, England
Eliza   Ridgeway   Female   4   1837   Shropshire, England
Martha   Ridgeway   Female   2   1839   Shropshire, England
Mary   Ridgeway   Female   75   1766   -ind - Not Salop

The age gaps are a bit of a concern plus there were two George Ridgeway deaths registered Wem Q2/1841 & Q1/1853 (No ages).

I cannot locate a birth record which was before statutory registration.

Hi Trish

Hi Caril,
No birth certs before Sept 1837 are available.
The Christening I gave you is all there is.

If you look on F/S and narrow search to between 10yrs each side of Thomas's 1776 Christening with Parents John/Sarah you should come up with other Children for them.
Then you can look for a Marriage that fits.

I can find 5 and a possible Marriage 1764

If you have trouble get back to me
