Tony and Barry. Thanks so much for adding extras to Janey's reply. Everything I had found in England showed that this 'family' had effectively died out. All of his sistersand one brother had never married and the one brother that did died young without issue, although he was so involved in everything in Gloucester that he probably wasnt at home long enough!!
Again very many thanks.
John

Hi
Here is the url

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/IndexSearch?form=IndexingSearch&cgiurl=%2Fcgi-bin%2FIndex%2FIndexingMarriage.cgi&event=marriages&sname=riddiford&gname=&fname=&mname=&frange=1870&trange=1910&place=&SessionID=20061839&x=62&y=9

A bit long- it is the New South Wales registry of Births Marriages and Deaths.

Thanks Janey, this looks promising as an 1879 marriage would be about the right age. How would I go about obtaining the cert, as I am not clear which site the details came off.

Hi again,

By the way, Woollahra is a Sydney suburb, near Bondi.

I have been researching, for a local history project, a George Francis Riddiford, an incredibly interesting man from Gloucestershire. My research is complete, including his various brothers and sisters, except one brother has eluded me.
GFRs will has now arrived and it shows that the missing brother, one John Percy Riddiford had gone to Australia and in 1890 was working on the Sydney Morning Herald.
Any help with details of if he married and when he died would be much apprciated. He was 37 in 1890. Many thanks for any help.
