I have searched every where for three Riddet[ t] brothers, I know it is asking a lot, please can you help,
Henry John born 1828, Carisbrooke, IOW, Hants. he is at home in 1841 census as John, cant find him in later census or a death
William Matthew born 1829, & Robert George born 1834, both at Carisbrooke, IOW, Hants. & at home in 1841 & 1851

I see in Criminal Registers Immigration & Emigration Books there are two entry’s for Robert George Riddett “Residence: 22 Jul 1846 & 15 Jul 1852 - Hampshire,”
And Australia, Assisted Immigrant Passenger Robert Riddett?
I did find a John in GR 1851 census index Ridditt John 1828 Isle Of Wight Winchester, Winchester. there was a prison there. I have also tried to find them in overseas census with no luck.
Thank you

Thank you GlitterbaBaby, and Thank you Sylvia,
The father was William, the 1841 census is the right family, the John you found who got 7 years may have been an uncle, thank you for the 1851 census for John, so he was working! they sound like a bad lot. but from reports I found in newspaper, the crimes were” playing pitch & toss in high street, stealing a stray chicken with other boys, & a William stole lead from the church, so the boys weren’t transported!
Thanks very much,
Ann

Thank you Sylvia & Chris Ho,
I have most of the info on the family on the Isle Of Wight, it is just the three boys I cant find for sure after 1851 there were several Williams about but not the right birth place or age give or take a year or so they may have emigrated, I have searched with no luck, I do not have a sub to any sites .
Ps thanks for the 1871 census for George,
