I'm pretty sure it is. I have been doing some research, and a number of ryders served with the connaught rangers. If he did, somehow, it would explain his Irish accent and fondness for the music, culture of Ireland etc. I feel I'm so close now! The game is afoot...☺

You're so good at this! Thankyou so much for sharing your research with me :) I'll apply for his birth certificate, now I have more information :)

Ah, then it definitely is :) But it's his (William Ryder's) father I'm struggling to trace. :/ x

Hiya :) thanks for replying. I am pretty certain that was his year of death, as I vaguely remember attending the funeral as a very small child around that time. I hadn't thought of the marriage certificate, but I'm not certain they were married in Plymouth x

Family History Beginners Board / William Ryder Plymouth circa wartime

Hi. My father states that his grandfather was Irish, but we have no evidence of this and I would like to trace the family line just to know (especially as he raised us insisting we were Irish!). My (apparently) Irish Great grandfather had a son called william ryder, married to Violet May Ryder, both in Plymouth. My great grandfather was also called William, I think. I don't know my great-grandmother's name.
This has been a mystery for years, and I would love to know my true heritage. If you can offer any information, I'd be very grateful x
