Note

Son of Mr. Francis Ridsdale. No other Francis Ridsdale has been found who is likely to be the Francis who married Ann Green. Francis seems to have moved from Wakefield to Leeds.
At burial Mr. Francis Ridsdale of "near the Church". Died of fever.

Note

Both of this parish, by licence. Witnesses Joseph Green, Edw[ar]d Ridsdale, Eliz. Ridsdale. No other Francis Ridsdale has been found and Francis seems to have moved from Wakefield to Leeds. He bought Park Gate Hall, Guiseley, near Leeds, in 1794/5. His assignees sold Park Gate in 1815. This Francis was an overseer to the poor of Guiseley.
The evidence that the Frncis who married Ann Green was the same as Francis the son of John is supported by the names of his two eldest childre, John and Susan. In addition, his daughter Ann seems to have been Ann the wife of Thomas Harrison of Covent Garden, whose children were given the names of both Ridsdale and Blackett. Ann's brother Charles lewis Harrison was married at All Saints, Spofforth, Yorks., about 12 miles from Guiseley, where several of Francis and Ann's grandchildren were baptized.
