Barbara Johnson writes (in November 2006):
Edward was baptised 8 September 1762 in Old Cleeve, Somerset - not sure when he was born. Jennifer Topham has him down as 1762 but a letter from my mother's grandfather (which we have found one or two mistakes in, so it is not to be utterly relied on) has him being the first of six children (we've found nine children, so there's one mistake!) If he was the first, I worked out he would have to have been born quite a bit before 1762. He was buried 3 August 1825 in Old Cleeve.
Joan Torrington was baptised 4 December 1768 with her sister Sarah. Her parents were almost certainly Hugh Torrington and Jane Potter. Great grandfather Francis said her father was Andrew Torrington, but it seems as if Andrew was her brother. There was certainly an Andrew Torrington born at the right time and place to be her brother and I have heard from Norman Torrington, who I think is descended from his son Andrew. Can't remember how I found him now - must get back to him to pursue this line. Anyways, Joan died 19 March 1838 and was buried 24 March 1838.
Edward and Joan married 16 November 1879 at St. Decumans, Somerset.
Edward's parents were Edward Risdon born 1724 (according to Jennifer Topham) and Betty Evett (don't know when she was born or who her parents were). They were married 30 September 1848 in Old Cleeve, Somerset. This I know from having seen a copy of the Parish Records at the Register Office in Taunton. Their children were Mary (born 1849 according to Jennifer, presumably died young as there was a later Mary). Edward (see earlier note), Rebecca born 1748 (she married Richard Veysey or Versey), Joan born 1760, Jane born 1765 (she married Robert Leigh 27 July 1793 in Carhampton), Mary (baptized 22 Jun 1750 in St. Decumans according to Jennifer - she married Edward Buller 23 March 1780), Elizabeth (born 1752), John (baptized 27 May 1754- he married Susanna Buller and they had 8 children of whom I have some details) and George (baptized 22 April 1756 - unmarried).
Edward died 15 May 1773 and was buried three days later. Betty was buried 3 July 1785 at Old Cleeve.
Edward's parents were Philip Risdon and Rebecca. They were married in 1715 according to Jennifer, and had seven children: (Elizabeth born 1721 - she married Benjamin Pring 18 October 1743 and they had a son, Benjamin), Rebecca (born 1722), John (born 1723 - he married Mary Luttrell - whose family feature quite a bit in the history of Minehead, Somerset - 19 April 1756 at Old Cleeve - seen copy Parish Records), Edward (see above), George (born 1726), Mary (don't know birth date, she married John Leigh) and Jane (born 1716). Rebecca (Philip's wife that is) died 17 September 1767 and it seems Philip remarried to Joan Williams about whom I have no details. He died 9 October 1769.
