Vale

Hello all, I found this website when trying to find out more about what happened to the William Vale who married Catherine Ridgley. It looks to me as if this is the family who settled in Mathon in the 1830s. I found the following on Google which confirms the link between the Mathon Vales and the Richards Castle Ridgley family: VALE OF CODDINGTON COURT. Vale, Heney Edward, Esq. of Coddington Court, CO. Hereford, D.L., Major (retired) 3rd Batt.
