Thanks for all your help-just need to find if William married & also his
brother Cyril which we cant locate anywhere.

Thats the right one with the Mothers name of Gooch - Annie was my
fathers sister so just trying to find my 2 cousins William and Cyril.

There's no death that could fit for 1943 on Ancestry or CWGC.

Many thanks for all your help - finding out what happened to William
Charles Ridge is proving to be very hard- I may have to go back down to
Cyril Ridges Spouse (Gertrude L.Round ) and that family and take it from
there- I will keep on looking as hes out there somewhere -
