  • Robert Ridge b1764

    I am trying to find reliable information about the parents and place of birth of my several-times great grandfather Robert Ridge - latterly of Ballinasloe, Co Galway, Ireland.

    He served in both the 10th and 15th Madras Native Infantry until 1805 and then retired to Ballinasloe. His wife was Anna Maria Bathorn(e) of Durrow. She was born around 1790 and the daughter of Hugh B and Judith de Courcy Ireland. Their children were Robert Thomas (from whom I descend), William Henry and Marian.

    Major Robert Ridge died in Ballinasloe in 1819. Anna Maria, his widow, later remarried.

    Any leads as to his parents, siblings or place of birth much appreciated. Thanks

    Hello Ridgetlp and welcome to FTF
    Have you put your question in the Sensitive Research section for a reason i.e. because Sensitive isn't picked up by Google? I ask because more people might see it if we moved it to the Research section.

        Apologies - I meant of course "I wasn't "... not "I want".

            Findmypast has the irish parish registers free to search and view results. Though i suspect robert was born long before existing parish registers began. Irish didn't record burials often either. But take a look and see what you can find.
