The John/ Betty. you are looking at in 1851 is a Shoe Maker
I think the wrong one
The John / Elizabeth from above was an Agr. Labourer

John was not born in Walkington
1851
John Ridsdale Betty abt 1802 Haltrup, Yorkshire, England Head Walkington, Yorkshire

Hi,
I have a John Risdale aged 35 .in the 1841 Census as living in Walkington
John aged 35
Elizabeth 30
Robert 11
David 6

Is this possibly the second brother

In the 1841 Census for Walkington, Yorkshire, England,

Wmn ( William ) Risdale age 75 Agr. Labourer
Ann Risdale age 60 Years

Next home on list

Wmn ( William ) Risdale, Head,, age 35 agr Labourer
Mary age 35 Wife
Wmn ( William ) Son age 10
Ann Daughter age 8
Harriet Daughter age 7
Charles Son age 2
James Son age 4 months

So can we assume William aged 75 and William aged 35 are father and son

So where do we find James?

Hi Brian
Not on the death.
I have looked for James and although there are entries nothing to tie him to Walkington.
There is a convict deported for 7 years and a publican in Hull named James Ridsdale. That seems to be it for James.

Just looking at Ridsdale - Walkington at the mo.

Found someone struck by lightning.....

The York Herald (York, England), Saturday, August 14, 1875
Shocking Accident through the Lightning - On Monday, evening, during a terrific thunderstorm that passed over Beverley and the neighbourhood.Mrs Ridsdale of Walkington, the wife of Robert Ridsdale and her daughter, were struck by lightning whilst standing at their own door. They were very severely burnt and injured in various parts of the body, so much so that the life of the daughter is despaired of. The house was materially damaged.

Not much else I am afraid and not very useful.

Sorry couldn't be of more help.

Hi Brian

I can't see a birth for James Ridsdale,in the newspapers, but maybe there is a marriage or death registered?????

There is a death in this newspaper, which if these are James' parents will give you an age and date of death for Ann?????
The Hull Packet and East Riding Times (Hull, England), Friday, December 15, 1848
December 12th, at Walkington, aged 69, Ann Ridsdale, widow of William Ridsdale.

In the 1841 census in Walkington . William and Ann Risdale are the family before James Risdale age 30 and wondered if there was that family connection.
