Siblings
Ridley was born in the Colac Hotel in December 1895. His brother William was born two years later. William and Catherine were married in 1888 and Ridley's prayer book lists a Doris Mary Reed in the lists of names where it had been used. This was before he was born, so the initials "A.R.R." in the leather cover of the book were punched in later. Doris may have been a first-born sister who died as an infant. Given in the time between marriage and Ridley's birth it is possible that Catherine and William had a still-born child before Doris.
Ridley and William were both baptised in St Margaret's on Port Road, Woodville.

ReplyDeleteDoris Mary Reed, first living child, died at six months of age. All the children were baptised at St Margaret's. William James is the only one of the siblings with descendants.
