Notice Dispute over Farm with (Samuel Arndell) on upper branch of Hawkesbury River. He seems to have died at Windsor in 1842 at the age of 78, [1]and is buried in St Matthews Anglican Cemetery, Windsor, NSW Research Notes Richard Ridge the convict seems to be a different person to Richard Ridge, born 1771 at Horsham, Sussex, son of James Ridge and Mary Randall. Information from a family member re Richard Ridge and the Oxfordshire origins hypothesis: The person who did the original research, thinks Richard was walking to London to look for work, in which case he was on the road from Oxfordshire to London. She says he was baptised on Ducklington but born in a nearby village. His parents were William Ridge and Catherine nee Hewett. His sisters were Mary and Martha. His two children in Sydney were named Catherine and Mary, and his daughter with Jane Poole was Martha, so that reinforces the claim that that was him. Also she says there are no further records of him in England. Sources ↑ NSW BDM 798/1842 V1842798 26B noted as aged 78 Birth ?
