Ryall

[ROSEPIP]

Here we go again, not much info this time

marriage
Charles Ryall to Frances Tufnell 6 1 1835


i did find another baptism
Richard Ryall to Henry and Harriett 20 9 1819 unless i copied it down incorrectly.

Yes everyone seems to have left the area there was a quarry at Ham Hill where they used to get all of the stone from and lots fo them worked at Montacute House,(some of my husbands rellies did), Montacute was sold off and did not employ anyone, also i think a lot of Glovers came from that area and that has also died off.

I have been in touch with a local getleman in his 90's in Montacute a Mr Geard and his has written his memories the web site is as follows

All for now

Fantastic! I tried to find Mr. Geard when I was in Montacute a couple of years ago, but he was out and I had to leave to catch a plane back to the States. Just what I wanted to hear. Sooo interesting! Haven't finished reading it all but wanted to rush my appreciation of all your great effort on my behalf!  Incidentally, it appears that Mr. G. is a Baptist. My grandfather (Henry, son of Richard) was a Baptist minister but in later years (in South Africa) his picture shows him wearing a clerical collar. Could he have changed churches? Also, where was the glove factory? There seemed to have been an awful lot of glovers in the family. Thanks a million!

Hello AnnieR,

Are any of your Ryall family likely to still be in the Somerset area? I live in Taunton and one of my friend's surname is Ryall. It's not a common name and I could ask him about his origins etc, if it would be of any help.

Sorry that I have not responded earlier. Got quite muddled as to how to do it, but hopefully, I am now back on track. To answer, I have no idea what happened to my Montacute Ryall family, other than knowing that my gggrandfather, Richard, went off to South Africa. As to why I have no idea. I would love to hear from anyone who could help me track down the rest of the family. Maybe some descendants stayed in Somerset? Maybe your friend's family is a cousin? Thanks, and again my apologies.
