Ryder
I wonder how many Ryders still live in Leyburn and East Witton. My mother was the daughter of George Ryder who was born in East Witton in 1881. George's parents were William G and Margaret Ryder who had at least 9 children, all born in East Witton. William G himself was the only child of Joseph Ryder whose brother John farmed Witton Lodge. Joseph and John were sons of Ellen Ryder, born 1779 was farming Witton Lodge as a widow, together with her sons, well into her sixties, when I believe she died. Ellen was my g-g-g-grandmother. I have no idea who was Ellen's husband, who was probably farming in East Witton before the Napoleonic wars. If any Ryder relative can help me with more information, please e-mail to Prof Robin Marshall, R.Marshall@manchester.ac.uk To help with possible relatives, William G's 9 children, and year of birth (accurate to 1 year) were William (1873), Elizabeth (1875), Joseph (1877), Esther (1879), George(1881), John (1883), Margaret (1886), Edith (1888) and Hilda (1890).

RE: RE: Ryder
I am descended from Joseph and Mary Ryder. Joseph was exciled to Tasmania in 1836 after being convicted for stealing sheep. His wife Mary and 3 daughters, Sarah, Susan and Mary all came out to Tasmania, I believe, around the same time. If you have any further information on this line of the Ryder family it would be much appreciated. I do not know if they had any more children than the 3 daughters named. I am not sure of the spelling of Mary's maiden name, it may have been Salterley.
Regards and success in your research

RE: RE: Ryder
I am descended from the Ryders too. My great grandmother was Margaret Ellen Ryder, daughter of William G. I have no further info on ancestors other than that given above by Prof Marshall, I have reached a deadend at Ellen. Margaret had 4 children, the only one still here today is my grandmother, she is 93!
