He was principally based at Devonshire House, but travelled with the Duke where needed, including to Russia for the coronation of Nicolas I. In Social Gleanings by Mark Boyd, 1875, Boyd claims that Ridgway was the Duke's 'foster brother', 'his mother, Mrs. Ridgway, having suckled the future Lord of Chatsworth'. Boyd also writes that it was Ridgway who introduced the Duke to Paxton, while the latter was a labourer in the Chiswick gardens.

He travelled abroad with P/9; CS2/3967/1-5; CS6/3025 both the 6th Duke and with Louisa Cavendish. Santi had a weakness for gambling, and in 1836 he wrote to the Duke admitting to having stolen some of the housekeeping money to feed his habit. He told the Duke he intended to commit suicide, and that it was the fault of Meynell (the valet) and Ridgway (the steward). The Duke paid off Santi's gambling debts but was forced to dismiss him two years later, in 1838, probably again for gambling. Despite his dismissal, Paul Santi and his daughter Louise were paid generous pensions for many years after his employment.

He describes Travis as 'prolix, C/14/9; L/91/8: Chatsworth Accounts Thomas old school, and very Knowlton and Joseph Fletcher's accounts 1798- consequential, in a cocked hat 1817; L/95/9; AS/3239 and striped stockings, and gold shoe-buckles, wearing powder and a long pigtail'. TRavis was known for telling a story about when the King of Denmark came to see Chatsworth. Ralph Travis was one of the servants paid to have a hair powder certificate. He was also provided with a horse 'to ride on all proper occasions'. Travis also appears in the Steward's Order Book and was the reason why the book was started in the first place. Ralph Travis had employed his own men to prune the trees in the park 'injuring the appearance and growth of them'. While Travis claimed he was only doing what he had been ordered to do, the Steward feared a rebuke from the Duke and made Travis sign a witness statement to say that he had been in charge of the order not the steward. This incident made the steward start this book, in order that all actions would be Travis Francis Male 1856 Chatsworth Multiple Labourer Team Worker C/20: Estate accounts 1855-1856 recorded.

He is therefore in 1841 Census for Edensor the minority of nineteenth-century gardeners at Chatsworth who were born on the estate. Following the remodelling of Edensor he moved there with his mother, Elizabeth, and wife, Ann. He probably began working in the gardens in the 1830s, where he became friends with John Milner. Unfortunately, William suffered from ill health. In the 1840s he was sent away twice to Southport, by Joseph Paxton, to bathe in the sea and recover from his health problems. Paxton paid for his expenses for these trips. In 1845 he was elected a councilman of the Edensor Club, which organised feasts and other activities for the local men. Sadly, William died in 1851, aged only 35. When William died he left his wife Ann to look after their four children: Julia, Edmund, Elizabeth and Alfred.

Wilson Edmund Male 1868 Hardwick Garden Gardener Gardener DF33/5 Edmund Wilson was the son of William Wilson. There is one letter written by him in DF33/5, but he is mentioned frequently by his mother Ann. In the 1870s Edmund moved to be head gardener at Hardwick Hall, where he remained for at least 50 years.
