Pedigree of the Ri(e)dpath Family

They area that they are first associated with are lands around the Kelso Abbey, Berwickshire, Scotland. Moving on to the east around Greenlaw, building a house just to the south known as "Angelraw" which is now know as a farm holding. To WALTHAM ABBEY in Essex which is just outside of London after selling the family land holdings. As London at that time stank a bit due to the nonexistence of a sewer system. Which only got started in the middle of 1800's. Then on to WEST HAM, Middlesex but still just outside of London.
During the 1800's the railway between London and Brighton, Sussex was built. This lead to Brighton becoming the fastest growing town in the whole of the UK between 1850 - 1900. Just the sort of place a bricklayer would move too which is just what my Thomas was!

My Thanks

This must go to two relative who did a lot of work before me. From 1200 - 1800 by ERNEST GUY RIDPATH and then up to my Great Grandfather, Charles Fredrick, by HERBERT ARTHUR LESLIE RIDPATH.
So to them a BIG thank you.

Due to theft of "personnal details" I have therefore removed the slides showing my Pedigree.
This page will change, along with a number of others, during this winter of 2011 as I have been collecting a LOT of information. Fom now on all that will be shown are the names which have married into my Paternal and Maternal lines.
The tree has expanded a lot too. So please contact me if you think there is a connection.
