There is also this birth. Miles away from Cornwall or Gourock!

Births Mar 1922 (>99%)
Ridgeway William E Thomas Thornbury 6a 459

There is one who married in Bristol in 1946. Is this your uncle?

I don't see a William Ridgeway born in Cornwall.

In Scotland, there was a William Edward Ridgeway born 1920 in Kirkcudbrightshire - nowhere near Gourock..

You really need Nellie's birth cert, Kacy.

Don't know if this means anything but this couple were married in Paisley, Renfrewshire which is not that far from Gourock which used to be in Renfrewshire.

This appears to be them in 1939 in Kerrier.

Ridgeway Household (3 People) Tolcarne Gate,Tolcarne , Kerrier R.D., Cornwall, England

Edward Ridgeway 09 Oct 1888 Male Labourer Farm Married 59 1
Ethel M Ridgeway 05 Oct 1888 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 59 2
One closed record

Of course, it could be a total coincidence and the only way to be sure is to buy the BC.

if you buy a copy of Nellie's birth certificate here:

https://tinyurl.com/y9x5f4om

it will tell you her parents' names and also the date and place of their marriage.

Quote the details given in Andy's post above.

It will cost you £12.
