RIDLEYS OF WINKFIELD, ENGLAND.
George-Jesse Ridley¹ (1) was a farmer at Berwick-on-Tweed, Scot-
land; descended from the Ridleys of Willimoteswick, in Northumberland,
Eng.; married and had a son (perhaps other issue), of whom hereafter.
SECOND GENERATION.
Thomas Ridley2 (1), a son of George¹ (1), was born at Berwick-on-
Tweed, Scotland, and ran away from home when a boy. He visited his na-
tive place after a lapse of a quarter of a century, but took very little pains to
find any relatives. He was a very eccentric character in this respect. He
always told his children he was related to the family of Sir Matthew-White
Ridley, Bart. He resided at Winkfield, Windsor, and was for many years
a farmer and inn-keeper there. He owned lands at Winkfield. I know
nothing of his education or professional life. He married Charlotte Aus-
tin, and had issue ten children, of whom hereafter. Died in 1871.
THIRD GENERATION.
Charlotte Ridley (1), eldest daughter of Thomas (1), was born at
Winkfield, Northumberland, and was married to a Mr. Foster. Now dead
(1883).
