Births Dec 1920 (>99%)
Ridgway Elsie Webber Bridgend 11a 1776

I'm guessing that you think she had a son..........

There is a birth in 1942 for a Ridgeway/Ridgeway called David A in Bridgend.

I have tried most of the geneology sites and am unable to find David Ridgway. You have the right Elsie Ridgway she was my birth mother, but I was adopted at birth, I have reason to believe that she had other children of which David was one one, therefore he should be my half brother but I am not sure if he was put up for adoption and brought up by a relative of the family.

Have you followed the advice about looking in 'search all trees'?

You should...................for ELSIE

You could also add yourself to the national adoption contact register............

A public tree on ancestry belongs to Elsie's grand-daughter. Gives Elsie's marriage to Austin Dunster in 1947, and 5 children - all hidden as they are still alive. Her parents are still alive, so if you contact her she may be able to help.

Can only see 4 children listed under Dunster/Ridgway.3 boys and 1 girl ...the tree has an extra boy?

The tree is showing 4 sons and a daughter, the tree owner is descended from the daughter. I also shows Austin died in 1974 and Elsie in 1985, both in Bridgend. Also, there are only details of marriages/children for her and one brother - nothing against the other 3.

The tree is also on Mundia, the daughter comes 2nd in the list of children, and she was born in 1951 - mmn Ridgeway, think the older brother was born in 1948 judging by the father's name, so it doesn't look like she is showing any earlier adopted children.

Their are 4 boys and 3 girls listed on freebmd from 1948 up to 1957 if you use variant names spelling for the mmn Ridgway/Ridgeway
