:lol: Sorry Jimmy, that last reply was a bit incoherent! Past my bedtime!!

I looked up John Bridon in Find My Past using the variants option and found him in the 1851 and 1861 census as well as his marriage in 1866. His occupations as apprentice tailor in '51 then tailor in nearby Malton in '61 confirmed that this John was the right one despite being listed as John Britton. So now I'm on my way again, thanks to your help.

Just one tip for any other beginners - get a good UK Atlas that lists all villages, because where somebody was born often indicates you've found the right person. I use an old Geographia Road Atlas of Great Britain that lists every name in its index that is on the maps - 95 pages, 146000 approx. entries.

I have found it to be invaluable.

This is very good too.

1871. Kirkby Moorside, Yorkshire.
John Briden 27. Journeyman tailor. Salton, Yorkshire.
Sarah A Briden 26. Kirkby Moorside, Yorkshire.
John W Briden 4. Son. Kirkby Moorside, Yorkshire.
Frederic Briden 3. Son. Kirkby Moorside, Yorkshire.

Is this him,
Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1866.
BRIDON John. LENG Annie. Kirbymoorside All Saints, Ryedale. Harrogate. C33RY/1/451.

1881. Kirkby Moorside, Yorkshire.
John Bredin 39. Widow. Tailor. Salton Oswardkirk.
Frederick Bredin 14. Tailors app. Kirkby Kinddi, Yorkshire.
Kate Bredin 6. Kirkby Kinddi, Yorkshire.
Edward Crosher Garbutt 20.

This looks like same family to me, both have a son Frederick, perhaps Ada was missed of the 1881 census, or staying with relations, the only way to be sure would be a birth cert.
