William Ridley dob 6/11/1841

[Catherine Wait]

Hi, I am looking for information on William Ridlay born 6/11/1841 at Bedlington. Have a birth reg for
D Q 1841 reg Morpeth volume 25, pg 300 line 5(Am I right in thinking Bedlington was a parish of Morpeth?) and by elimination a possible 1851 census Reg HO107.  Could anyone please look for a baptism to find parents names? and on the census birthplace? to see if this is the same person?The transcription only gives birthplace as Northumberland.

Thanks
Catherine

are we looking at the one in 1851
with parents Matthew and Elizabeth,have you eliminated these two as parents
perhaps not as Ledgers mother was a McDougal

Hi ,
There is a marriage on family search and George Ridley and Eleanor Sheridin appear to be in Bedlington, Morpeth in 1841. As always you would need to confirm with a birth certificate,

Hi all, yes Lizdb - this is the William Ridley I was looking for - he becomes a civil engineer and works around the world.  Serves me right for limiting my search to NBL!!!! and not broadening my horizons!!

Thanks to you all
