Thank you for your replies.
I do have the family in 1841, 1851, 1861 (James Ryder died before the 1861 census - either 1859 Plymouth if he was at home, or 1860 Fareham if he was still on the Stirling Castle at Gosport then)
Amy Ryder died 1870 Portsea, Hants (the death index is where the ref to her middle name being Philp came from, but Phillipa sounds more plausible - the 1834 ref to Harry James ryder in my first message).
It looks like the birth of George Ryder (abt 1836 E Stonehouse) is not going to be easy to date, without a record of his baptism.
Do you know which would be the best source for more information on the 1833 marriage James Ryder to Amy Gord / Goad to confirm exactly what her last name was and any info on parents?
I have been in touch with the creator of the Hollister tree on ancestry, and it looks like the "Anna P Ryder" on that is "Amy P" as that is how she is referred to in all other documentation for this family. He has also acknowledged that the Goad reference to her name could be down to poor handwriting/mistranscription of Gord if the note of her name in the 1833 marriage is correct.
If more marriage information is not available, than as you say the birth certificate of one of their younger children you have identified may be the way to go.
Thank you
