Hi, I'm the granddaughter of Phyllis.  I have been trying to find other family members who may have information about her and her children.  Hope you can help.  I am happy to continue with Private Messaging so names etc. are not in the public domain?

Hello,

I was very excited to receive your information about Frank and his family.

I have some personal information to share, as well as some information to clarify and believe it would be better to do this by sending you a personal message as opposed to posting in this thread.

Keep an eye out on your Personal Messagea - but give me 5 mins to type it all!!!!

Durham Lookup Requests / Frank Ryan - Durham
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 12:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Can anyone help me find out about the Ryan family from Durham?

Lawrence Robert Ryan, born 1875 (Coke Filler) married Ellen Jane Freeman, born 1878, and they were living at Aldin Grange, Durham in 1911.

Their children were (Florence?) May born 1899; Lawrence born 1900, Allan born 1902, Thomas born 1905, Norman born 1906, Arther/Arthur born 1908, Elizabeth born 1911 and Frank Ryan born 18 November 1912.  It is possible that further siblings were  born later.  Frank married Phyllis Irene Knott (born 20 April 1914) on 25 January 1936 in Aldershot.  Frank was a Sergeant with the Durham Light Infantry and Phyllis was a nursery governess.  Frank was at Dettingen Barracks, Blackdown and Phyllis resided at Chingford Avenue, Farnborough.

Frank and Phyllis had a child born in St Albans, later given up for adoption.  Frank was a Captain in the Durham Light Infantry and Phyllis was residing at Frederick Place, Plumstead, SE18.  Frank served in the 2nd World War and was wounded in Tunisia.  He relinquished his commission on completion of service on 1st Janaury 1963 and granted Honorary rank of Major (QM).  After retiring he took up a civilian post with the Kenya Army.

I have no further information regarding Frank.  I am interested in knowing what happend to him.  Did he remain married to Phyllis or remarry?  Did he stay in Kenya or return to the UK?  Did he have any more children?

Thank you.

Hi

Can anyone help me find out about the Knott family from Farnborough/surrounding areas?

Stephen George Knott, born 1869 (blacksmith) married Louise Parr, born 1869, and they were living at Beechnut Road, Aldershot in 1911.

Their children were, Elsie Annie Knott, born 12 November 1892; Stephen Knott, born 1898; Lilly Knott, born 1900; Evelyn Knott, born 1903; Norah Knott, born 1904 and Edwin Knott born 1910.

Elsie Annie Knott had a daughter, Phyllis Irene Knott, born 20 April 1914.  Phyllis married Frank Ryan (born 18 November 1912, Durham) on 25 January 1936 in Aldershot.  Frank was at that time a sergeant with the Durham Light Infantry, rising to captain and eventually Major (QM),  and Phyllis was a nursery governess. Frank was at the Dettingen Barracks, Blackdown and Phyllis resided at Chingford Avenue, Farnborough.

The couple had a child, whom they gave up for adoption.  I know what happened to the child and I am not looking for information on that point.

However, I am trying to find out what happened to Phyllis and Frank, particularly if there were more children.  I am aware this is relatively recent and I would understand if some of this information might be better sent by personal message to avoid mentioning living people.

Thank you.

Hazel

Hi Sue,

I have just stumbled across your thread, and it looks like we are trying to find information on the same people.  I have found the following for the Ryan family from Durham:-
Lawrence Ryan born 1875/6
Married Ellen Jane Ryan (formerly Freeman) who was born 1878
They had 8 children between 1899 and 1912.  Possibly more after this date.

I am interested to learn more on one of their sons, namely Frank Ryan (born 18/11/1912, had a career in the Durham Light Infantry, married Phyllis Irene Knott in 1936 and had one child that we know of).

Are you able to supply any further information?

Thanks

H.
