Thomas Enoch Redge/Ridge

[vliet]

I'm STILL trying to get more information about my great uncle, Thomas Enoch REDGE/RIDGE. The varaiation in surname is purely due to handwriting, accent or personal preferences.
The last record I have for him is his name as a witness at his brother's, my grandfather's wedding, in 1921. None of the immediate family even knew he existed.
He was born in 1880, in Shropshire and was still with his father & one of the surviving sisters, on the 1901 Census, in White Grit, Shelve, Shropshire.
Up to now, I have 6 possibilities for Thomas's wedding (always assuming that he DID marry) and trying to find anyone who is descended from them, looks like being my next way forward. The women are, witth dates af marriage are:
Dora Ellen Watkin, 1903, Llanfyllin
Eliza Skinner, 1915, Southwark
Dorothy A Watson, 1921, Barnet
Ellen James, 1908, Ledbury
Ada Williams, 1926, Forden
Margaret E Helmshaw, 1923 N. Brierley
There are more out there, maybe, but one has to start somewhere! I DO hope someone recognises one of the names, or can come up with a totally new line of enquirey. Please post a reply with even the smallest snippet of information. My search for Thomas is driving my wife batty - only because I keep going on about him!

Hi Stuart
From the date of birth, Your Francis Ridge was Thomas Enoch's elder brother and therefore my other great uncle from that family! Their father, Enoch REDGE or RIDGE was my great grandfather, and their younger brother, Walter, my grandfather.
I will look at my family tree on the computer tonight and try & give more information but you might be able to fill in some gaps if I can give you any more details.

Hi Stuart

I looked up the tree and I would definitely say that your Francis was another great uncle of mine from the same family. Francis was Thomas Enoch's and Walter's (my grandfather) elder brother. their father was called Enoch.

Francis has a number of links on the tree and I ccould do with getting some of your relative's names, eg grandfather, grandmother etc. etc. so I can have a look at my information.

Hope to hear from you soon.

The Good Captain.
