Here's his birth from the GRO site - so mother's maiden name was Edward

RIDGEWAY, HENRY    mmn   EDWARD     
GRO Reference: 1877  S Quarter
NEATH 
Volume 11A  Page 566


Probably Edwards.

Yes would agree with that marriage.  There are several older siblings on census.

Sarah Emily born 1875 has mothers name Edwards.

Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

Unfortunately I am still struggling with this as Glamorgan does not appear on some sites. Just wonder if someone has access to one or more of the previous census returns for John Ridgeway and his family?
