I am searching for information on any Somerset Ryalls particularly focussing on Montacute and Frome. I would be most appreciative of help. Thanks!

Hello Annie,
What years are you interested in and is there a particular Ryall person your interest lies with ?
RootsChat :)

Specifically I am looking for any information on the families of Henry Ryall, b.1812 in Montacute. That would include siblings, cousins, parents, children, etc. Thanks!

Thank you so very much for pointing me towards the 1851 census. The Henry Ryall on Towns End was my gggrandfather. I am now looking for his parents (haven't a clue as to their names or where they lived). Also any information on his children would be most welcome. (The son Richard went on to live and work in South Africa.)

Thank you so much. I 'claim' the children of Henry and Susan, however, who is Job? Might I assume that he is John in the 1851 census? Also, am missing a Rose and Ebenezer. Were all these children baptized in the Church of England? Richard's son was a Baptist minister. Again, much appreciation.

if i find anymore i will let you know

Look forward to hearing what you find. You are the greatest! Also, what happened to all the people who lived in Montacute in the 19the century. When I visited about 3 years ago I couldn't find any trace of them. Is there some written history of their exodus or the history of that period? I find it interesting that so many Ryalls were stone masons. I thought that Somerset was mostly agricultural. Lots of questions, I know. I live in America or would pop up to that area and really look around so forgive all this 'dependency'! Thanks!

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
www.cy-ic.com/geard
you may find it interesting
going to the lds again on Monday i will look at the other film i have there
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.

I would like to chat with you regarding Ryall's of Montacute and Bishops Caundle. My YDNA has been in Bishops Caundle , 1807. I'm thinking probably related to this group. Also interested in Horsington, , Templecombe , Stock Gaylard etc. Ryalls have been or maybe still are from these locations.
Thanks Ken Ryall psMy guys went to Newfoundland.
