Hi Peter,
I have just come across your enquiry from Feb 20th 2003, regarding Thomas Ridgway and his wife Isabella Ravensdale.
According to the 1881 census, there is only one Ravensdale family listed for Manchester, and they are -
George RavensdaleHead age 34born Mayfield, Derby
Isabella RavensdaleWife age 35born Manchester
John E RavensdaleSon age 13born Manchester
Sarah H RavensdaleDaur age 11born Manchester
Elizabeth A RavensdaleDaur age 9born Broughton
Harry D RavensdaleSonage 5born Broughton
Nelly RavensdaleDaur age 1born Broughton
there is also a
Isabella RavensdaleNeice age 6born Manchester
This person is the right age for your enquiry, and she is listed with a family with the surname Worsencroft.
I have also found that Isabella Ravensdale married Thomas Ridgway in the March qtr 1894 at Salford.
Also Isabella Ridgway died in the March qtr 1922 at Manchester.
I did not find any children resulting from the marriage.
I hope that this information will be of use to you, and I wonder if you would let me have any Ridgway BDM details, as I have compiled extensive databases about the Ridgway surname, and I have extracted all Ridgway BDM's from the St Catherines Indexes, 1837-1972, and I am adding extra details to them all the time, in order to assist other Ridgway researchers.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
David Ridgway (Burntwood, Staffs)
