I would like to contact descendants of Christopher Harold Ridgeway born in England 1884 died 1966. He had 2 sons William Alfred 1904 and Christopher Harold 1906-1986. He married Mary Adelaide Wood 1901 in Victoria British Columbia.
He is the brother of my grandfather. They were separated when his mother and my grandfather came to Australia in 1888.

Have you looked to see if anyone has him in their tree on here?
(Have you put him in your tree?) Is there a birth in free bmd?

Are you saying that he married at 17 in Canada, whilst his parents were in Australia?
Thanks

Unfortunately I do not think he shows in free bmd for births, either in 1884 or 1877.

If this is his death birthdate would be 1874.
