Hello
I am trying to find a baptism of a Daniel Ridgley circa 1810 in Wooten Bridge Isle of Wight
Can anyone find it for me.

1851 census (staffordshire) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGG8-H7T
https://www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/ would be the go-to place.
I'll have a scout around on there
It doesn't appear that the records are likely to be online, and I cannot see the surname mentioned elsewhere for that era in baptisms.

On FreeReg there is a baptism of Daniel RIDGELY at Holy Cross Binstead on 28 Dec 1806, parents John and Jane - a possibility? (Not too far from Wootten Bridge.)
Modified to add:
There is a marriage of John RIDGELY to Jane WOODNUTT on 12 July 1798 at St Edmund, Wootton.
And various other children baptised to them all at Binstead:
5 May 1799 William
3 Apr 1803 Harriett
19 May 1805 Mary
John RIDGLEY (husband of Jane) buried at Wootton 13 Dec 1808

I found these burials but it looks like it was Jane who was buried in 1808 :-\

and John in 1849,

My apologies, I mis read the entry - I thought it was unusual to put the wife's name on a burial entry!
However, looking further, I found a burial for Daniel (son of John and Jane) on 28 Dec 1806 at Binstead (the same day of the baptism?) on familysearch. So not sure now ... :-\

Thank you both the baptism you gave me fits with the demise of Daniel Ridgley on 20.12.1868 aged 63 in West Bromwich. Also the names of the children are family names passed down especially the Harriet. He named his first daughter Jane, he also named one of his daughter's Harriet. He only had daughter's two of whom had children without being married. One of his daughter's named her first son Daniel and the second one John possibly after her dad and her grandfather?
Could family search have got it wrong and listed it in both places? I have in the past found several errors.
Is there anyway I can get the register at Binstead checked?
John and Jane Ridgley were both buried at Wootton and I have checked both Binstead and Wootton and can't find a burial on the Isle of Wight site on the links given me ???
I don't know were I go from here any additional help would be gratefully received.
Thanks everyone

You could try contacting the IOW Record Office,
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lx1/
They have a names index of baptisms, marriages and burials , this would mean that they could look for Daniel and see if he had a baptism and burial in 1806. I've found that they are very helpful if you call them with the details of what you are looking for and they will do a quick search for free :)

Thank you for all your help.
I have been in touch with the Isle of Wight records office and there is a baptism for Daniel Ridgley on the 28.12.1806 and there isn't a record of burial so the LDS is incorrect. So this is my Daniel Ridgley and he died in West Bromwich 20.12.1868.

That's great news, I'm glad that you've found him. :)

I agree, great!
I wonder how many other familysearch records are incorrect? Always good to check - lucky the IoW office was helpful. :)

I usually use LDS but check with the actual Parish Registers when possible. I am grateful for this site though as the people are very helpful.
Onwards and upwards I now have to find Daniel's parents births John Ridgley 1772/1773 and Jane Woodnutt 1778/1779.
I know they married in the Isle of Wight but whether they were born there is another matter. Jane died in 1809 but John lived until 1849 so should be on census hopefully. I found a census Hampshire for 1841 with a wife Elizabeth. I also found this marriage but both were on the LDS
