19 Feb 1868 Last will and testament of William Ridler of the City of Builder indirect ......etc.... all my household furniture, plate, linen, china, glass and other household effects unto my dear wife Sarah Ridler.I give and devise all my messuage or dwelling house, 11 New Walls Terrace, Bedminster, Somerset unto and to the use of my friends, John Henry Holbrook, plummer and George Stephen Clark labourer to sell by private contract . After paying the mortgage debt the balance to my wife.And the rest residue and remainder and personal estate to my said wife to receive the rents, issues and profits during her widowhood to decease or second marriage. Thereof in trust for my child if only one or for my children if more than one in equal shares.The shares of my daughters to be received, enjoyed and disposed of by them as their separate estate without control of inference of any husband.I appoint JOHN Henry Holbrook and George Stephen Clark executors of this will. 28 August 1867.Witnesses, William Joseph Wilcox, clerk to Mr Atchley, SOL. and William James Robe, Accountant, Park Row, Easton. Proved at Bristol 19 February 1868 by JHH & GSC, executors.The Testator William Ridler was late of the City of Bristol Builder and died on 2 November 1867 at 12 Church St, Newtown. Under £20.
William's father (Robert)died a few months before the 1841 Census and his mother (Jane) seven months before his marriage to Sarah in 1849.
He is first listed in the Matthews directory for 1860 under the name W RIDLER and his address is given as 1 Easton Rd, Easton.
Successive entries for the following years show that in 1866 he was listed as a Plasterer and Painter. The last entry is 1867 still with the same address, however when he died in 1867 his address was 12 Church St, Newtown, this being the place of death on the death certificate.
His occupation at the time he died was given as Master Painter. For the last two years of his life he was suffering from Phthisis a term formerly applied (like Consumption )to the disease of the lung now known as Tuberculosis and it is quite possible the business was carried on by Sarah.
Following the death of William, Sarah married again to JAMES BEVAN listed as a Coach Builder. They had a son Frederick BEVAN.
In 1898 Harry Eamer, (see the EAMER family history), was an apprentice to Frederick to learn the trade decorator at 3 Clarence St, Newtown, Bristol, the same address that Sarah was living at the time of her death in 1901 age 72. Frederick was living at 47 Zetland road in January 1902 when Harry finished his apprenticeship.
The Eldest son Albert William was 17 when WILLIAM died at the age of 41 and he also became a painter and decorator. Was his business originally William's?. He first appeared in Mathews Directory in 1876.

William Nelson died the day before Emily (she was 3 Years 2 months). By inference they were both struck down by the same disease . It must have dismayed WILLIAM and SARAH to loose 3 babies in as many years, WILLIAM NELSON was only 1 year 3 months old when he died. The name Nelson has not been used in the family since.
