yes thats the one i have for 1901 census

Could this be his birth on FREEBMD

Nope this is the one..

RIDGWAY Thomas Tiverton 5b 458

could be i just had 1883for birth

He is the only Tom showing up born Tiverton for 10 years, so I think more then likely him.

I can't find him at all on 1891, best thing would be to send for his BC and then hopefully track down his parents..

If he married get his MC first to get dad's details.

is this one pushing it? cencus page says torquay
Thomas J Ridgway abt 1883 Forguay, Devon, England Scholar The United Parishes of St James and St Paul Gloucestershire

could be pushing it jen as forquay i think means torquay it is a bit of a way down does that thomas at torquay born in tiverton?

clara atill may not be thomas sister then/ cant believe problems i am having looking for him i have been trying for nearly hour and a half!

i dont know down that end of the country so dont which towns etc are near each other, maybe the best thing is to buy his marriage cert at least that will give you his dads name.

yes i think it will come to that, thanks ever so much for trying for me jen much appreciated
