Edward Ridgard m Eleanor Bailey 1802 at St Mary Marylebone. When his daughter Jessie married in 1840 her father was entered as Edward Ridgard 'Jeweller'.
In 1841 the wife Eleanor was living with her son Francis.
Apart from the baptisms of his children in 1804,1808, and 1820 I can find no other reference to Edward Ridgard. I have searched deaths, burials, census, and newspapers.
Please can anyone find any record for him? I am of course in particular wanting to find some clue to his origins
