Hi Rosie

So to confirm

1. William baptised 1788 West Clandon son Richard Rice & Elizabeth (Betty) Stiles married 1783 in Repley.

2. Richard Ride Baptised ?1757 son of Francis Ride 7 Elizabeth, I cannot see any other Richard Ryde's born in that are at that time ?

Many Thanks

I have posted a possible burial for that baptism (reply 14)
Freereg have a transcript which states he drowned

Hi Rosie

I saw  your note regarding the burial, unfortunatly we dont know as you said the age of this Richard and there do not appear to be any other candidates.

Many thanks

hi Rosie

I found a tree on Ancestry that shows Richard born 1757 in Shalford son of Francis Ryde and Elizabeth Pointer married Betty Stiles in 1783. It also shows Francis born c1724 in Stanwell Middlesex son of Francis Ryde and Sarah Crew, that Francis born c1690 at Lambeth.

Kind Regards

Hi Rosie

I have found baptisms of Ryde's in West Clandon back to 1578 so I defintely think we have the right family.

Kind Regards

Clandon is obviously Williams place of birth, the problem is with those that were alive before him. 
The trouble with Ancestry trees is that they often just adopt the hints they have been given without any further research.

Hi Rosie

Having been down these wrong trails before myself I would quite agree, but as there are Ryde's in that area back to 1578, I think I will need to look at other parishes close by that may not have been transcribed onto FreeReg or Family Search. Thanks again for all your help.

Kind Regards

I do agree with you.  Better to spend time on keeping on the right track than following the wrong one.
Ryde seems quite popular as a surname in that area.
