Mum, Dad, daughters & 1 son. Family Horace Henry Ridgway & Esther Ridgway left England for new life in Australia with four daughters and one son. One daughter stayed behind as she was to be married. But later she joined us. Esther and one sister (Paulin) died, but we have all stayed in Australia. It is now 41 years. Will always remember day I was fifteen on dayof arrival.
