I've been looking at a lot of old census data lately and thought it would be interesting to see if I could find the Ridgway family. I found Robert M Ridgway born in 1835 and the occupation looks like "RR Road Master". His son Arthur O Ridgway was born in 1872 and the listed occupation is "Civil Eng RR". Another son, Carl, was born in 1860 and is listed as a RR clerk. A third son, Howard, was born in 1862 and his occupation is listed below. I'm not sure what it says but it starts with RR. Just to add to the confusion, Arthur had a son in 1908 who was also named Robert M. Ridgway!
