Cyn?.........^........yours ..

Dea.
I would like his occupation, where he was born and if you can make out his age better than transcribed it would be brill.
Also do you think the following images are the same man please?as they indicate him born much earlier than the first page.
But he was married with three kids at the age of 23 if you go by the transcript of his age and it just does not seem poss for a man who had been in the army for 5 yrs already?

Afternoon all

Dont you hate it when you have spent hours on something to have this added to the thread a few days later. Whether he actually knows something that I dont, just seems pointless. There are a couple of trees on ancestry bit muddled though??

Dea.
I didnt think 23 and 8 months was correct,but it is what it looks like on first image,thanks,what do you say his occupation is on the first image?
And where it says he is married on first image it has (3 children)with it?

Where do you find his children please,as I dont see them,want to try and find any of them on 1911...


Are we looking at the same record here?

FannyByGaslight Report 21 Nov 2010 16:27

Dea.
I think that only the first image is the man I want as the following image has him born in Yorkshire and a different age etc etc.
Thats why I wondered if all the 7 images were of the same Frederick Ridley...

Edits.
I see what Anc have done now.
You have to flick BACK for the man I am after,not FORWARDS through the images ..
gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Could well be and changed things to try and serve,but got discharged again as unfit as on the one the other way..

Does it give ages of those children please and a wifes name,as Im b'''''''''@d if I can find the girls names of Isobell and Annie on any of the images..!
The one that says he is born Warwick says he has
Harold Frederick 1908
Norman 1911
and Emily 1913
and he married Emily Hart in 1908,all in Birmingham,(all the correct district for Lame Ducks family)which I have found most of on freebmd,but not Norman and nor can I find them on 1911.
Does it say "Cycle Finisher " for sure as occupation on that first image?Im pretty sure it does,but would like to be certain please.

No worries Dea,take care and thank you my lovely..

Here T ,brought forward for you.

British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920 about Frederick Ridley
Name: Frederick Ridley
Estimated birth year: abt 1891
Age at enlistment: 23
Birth Parish: St Georges
Birth County: Warwick
Document Year: 1914
Regimental Number: 3350
Number of Images: 7



Would you kind people please check the first image of this record to tell me it says all of what I think it says please?
I have reservations over the age transcribed on it.
I think that all other pages after are not the same man?
But if that could be sorted yea or nay as well it would be nice.

Still working on that lame ducks lot of Cynthias that was passed to me by PM,and I am hoping that this man is her grandad,her dad has no name for father on his birth cert but does on his marriage and as his father has a different surname on his marriage cert to his own I believe it may be true.
Also this mans occupation on the record)I think) is almost exactly what is written on lame ducks fathers marriage cert for his fathers occupation.

Sorry ,getting carried away at the thought I may have found him..;)

The images to the right of the original seem to be a different man,but the images to the left of the original are the man I want I believe for certain,everything seems to add up to it being so.
But I cant find any of them on 1911 at the mo using Harold Frederick Ridley born 1908 Birmingham way with mother Emily and father Frederick born 1891?,can you see them at all
