In Reply to: Estherville family questions, Ridley by Melissa Ridley-Elmes of 36798

Social Security has Neil b. 1953, which is the year I was born. My dad was born 1922, so I'm guessing Wm/Bill Ridley would be of the same era give or take a decade. So I started with the 1930 census.


1930 census Esterville, Emmet, Iowa
Ridley, Wm H, head, 37, 1st m age 21, IA TN NE, steam railroad fireman.
Gertrude, wife, 41, 1st m age 25, IA Eng Can
Billy A, son, 11, IA IA IA <- possibly your grandfather
Mason, Lester A, b-in-law, 30, IA Eng Can, high school janitor

1930 census, Emmet, Emmet, Iowa
Schoening, Ferdinand, 58, IA Ger Ger, farmer
Mary M, wife, 47, 1st m age 21, IA Ger Ger
Herbert H, son, 21, IA IA IA
Vera V, dau, 19, IA IA IA
Lynn, son, 12, IA IA IA
Myrtle M, dau, 12, IA IA IA <- possibly your grandmother
Dorothy M, dau, 10, IA IA IA

Iowa's 1925 State Census gives everyone's parents
Wm Ridley Sr, was son of Reuben Ridley, 71, b. TN and Eliza Coleson, 58, who were married in IA
Gertrude Ridley was the daughter of Allen Mason, 62, b. Eng, and Fannie Stavely, 58, b. Can who were married in Iowa

Allan Mason, was the son of Thomas W Mason, b. England, and Eliza Cowperthwaite, b. England who were married in England
Fannie Stavely, was the daughter of Anthony Stavely, b. England, and Emma Bell, b. Canada who were married in Canada.
