Hello all – a request from New Zealand here! I’m relatively new to this so please bear with me. I have traced back to George RYDER, b 1801 in Prees, d 1862 in Weston I believe he was married to Ann HOPLEY (b 1797 in Whitchurch) m 1828 in Prees (but there is some doubt that this is the RIGHT Ann?) I also believe that George’s father was Samuel RYDER b 1768 in Moreton Say, but I need the church records to prove this and am having trouble tracing them. I am also seeking a marriage record for my GGF – Samuel RYDER (not a very imaginative lot re their naming !) b 1860/61 in Whitchurch, d abt 1940. He married an Alice (I think by process of elimination was a KYNASTON), but I can’t trace their marriage records – assuming there was one!. (I traced a marriage of Samuel Ryder in 1894 in Wem, but it was not to an Alice). Please – any help gratefully received !!
