Richard Ryder lewis
« on: Saturday 06 June 09 15:57 UTC (UK) »

Hi,
I'm looking for "Richard Ryder Lewis"
I dint know anything  about him apart from he married my dad's aunt (Alice Jane Durward) on  18/4/1919 in Vancouver .
He died on 27th Dec 1925 ...age 63 , in Victoria.
Alice was a good bit younger than Richard  the year after his death she emigrated to Australia to be with her sisters .(she died 1947)

I'm wondering if he was Canadian ? or Scottish (but over in Canada )....had he been in the army when younger ? Huh
or even had he been married before ?
ooh! lots of questions ,but can find no answers  Undecided

back to the grind i suppose ,

The death index for Richard Ryder Lewis is listed on this site under British Columbia. If you don't already have his death certificate, you should be able to order it and it may give you information that you don't already have.

If no one at RootsChat is able to do a look-up of the death registration for you then you should try the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website (http://www.raogk.org/) as they have a number of volunteers who do vital records look-ups of BMD events that are listed in the British Columbia Archives' database.

I picked up the marriage record for Richard Ryder Lewis to Alice Jane Durward at Victoria in 1919. Unfortunately the image in microfilm is so faint the printout is not legible. I copied out as best I could what the record says. I also got the death record for Richard Ryder Lewis in 1925 at Victoria.

If you wish copies send me a PM with your email address.

Marriages March Q. 1860
Lewis,Richard and  Ryder, Jane / Machynlleth / vol. 11b   p. 291

I imagine the births may have been in Machynlleth as well, but middle names must have been established at Christenings..

Hmmmm...He may have been this person at signup, ( as Ryder Lewis)  making himself younger so as to make the age req'ment. Most of the information seems to be correct...He'd already been in the Canadian Army Service Corps
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=527720
You can get an idea of his staure from the second sheet...also he had a mitral systolic murmer & hypertrophy but not sure if second one refers to heart as well, or muscle bulk...

Don't see a BMD birth for a Ryder Lewis, so looking more likely to be your man...He was living in Victoria, born Llansantffraid, Montgomeryshire, father Richard.

A bookkeeper just had to be good at math...Know how to balance the books and such...  ( not accountants )
My mom didn't finish high school because she needed to work for her father in his store...but she learned how to do his books and was good at math...and became a bookkeeper.
