Families covered: Ridley of Ridley (Cheshire), Ridley of Ridley (Northumberland)
[A draft Ridley01 was first launched on 20.02.08. It has been redone completely. Most of what has been retained from that draft is now shown within Ridley02 & Ridley03.]
| This family was clearly of some consequence in Cheshire. However, we are wary of pedigrees that show many connections with well-documented families until we see at least some of those connections reciprocated by those other families. That is particularly the case when we suspect that too many generations are being shown ( the Nicholas Ridley of Ridley below, who leads to the continuation page, was alive c1400) and there are several oddities (2 examples from many, from just above the section break: the first Lord Roche to become Viscount Fermoy was not recognised as such until 1585 whilst the first Grosvenor to become 'of Eaton' did not become so until around 1444). Consequently, we suggest that much of this page be viewed with caution. We are not making connections from this page to other pages unless we believe there is good reason to do so. | |||||||||||||||
