Brick wall for James Ridgers 1837-1919 *Completed*
« on: Thursday 28 February 13 08:56 GMT (UK) »
I have hit a brick wall with my Great Grandfather James Ridgers born 1837 in Crondall Hampshire. He is the son of Charles Ridgers and Eliza Terry 1815-1851.
In the 1851 census he is with his parents in Crondall transcribed as Janes and by 1871 he is a wheelwright in Frimley Surrey. I have all the census records from 1871-1911 living in Farnborough but cannot find trace of him in 1861.
He did marry in October of that year Louisa Underwood.
Any help would be appreciated.

just noticed that Ancestry no longer documents the full Census reference? You have to deduce it .... strange?

Also tried to find the family in 1841 - no sign!

Thanks all you brilliant Rootschatters
That's definitely him. His son James Henry Ridgers ended up in Lynchford Rd later in life.
