I am also seeking Riddicks from where I'm not sure. My great grandfather was born in Wellington New Zealand and prior to that I have drawn a blank.
HIs name was Robert Hugh Riddick and he married a Hannah Elliott. This was her second marriage and her birth name was Elliott and her married name was Evanson.
If anyone has any information that may be useful, it would be appreciated.

Hi Shirley
I have a lot of data on the RIDDICKS including some in NZ.
This data includes Robert Hugh Riddick [and his ancestors] and Hannah Elliot.
The Riddicks are connected to my wife's tree
The data is too large to fit here so
I will send you what I have ASAP

Hi
I have a Donald Riddick/Ridich/Ruddich/Rudick who was in the Scots Guards.  Nearly every document I have on him spells his name differently.  He married Sarah Hasland in Lambeth in 1868 and at the time of 1881 census his family was living in the Tower of London.  He died in Essex in 1898.

I have no idea when or where he was born - possibly 1843ish.

Does he mean anything to you?  Family stories are that he ran away to join the army and changed his name - so I'm not even sure who I am looking for!!  On his marriage certificate he gives his father's name as James.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Thanks

I don't know if you could help Pam?
I have found a marriage for William Walker right age to a Mary Ann Hughes 1868 they have a daughter Mary who could be Mary who was in US her mother dies 10 days after her birth but on the marriage certificate it gives William  parents as William Walker/ Margaret Roddick It comes as no surprise that there is no marriage on Scotlands people or the IGIs for this couple and no birth of William  either, nothing is ever easy. Sorry just did a quote but I am looking for any info on Roddicks I think Kirkcudbrightshire/Wigtown/they must have lived Glasgow sometime as that is where William 1844 was born mother Margaret Roddick her mother may have been Jane Craig and her father William Roddick many thanks

Most of my Rodicks/Riddicks are from Dumfrieshire, but I will have a look at my paper Roddick files and see if there are any unconected files [to me] and see if any match yours and get back to you if I find anything
