Berridge was the son of the Reverend W Berridge the Vicar of Lowton St. Mary’s in Lancashire. He was educated privately and at Upholland Grammar School where his father was the headmaster. In 1887 Berridge married Agnes Campion from Redhill. Mrs Berridge suffered from heart problems in later life and while apparently in good health and spirits was taken ill suddenly at a dance in Kensington and died in a few minutes in Feb. 1909. They had one son and one daughter.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or education:
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“... education fails in so far as it does not stir in students a sharp awareness of their obligations to society and furnish at least a few guideposts pointing toward the implementation of these obligations.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
