John Tyler Ryland, 1786–1841: A Further Assessment

Abstract

This article is an expansion of Stella Read, ‘Further information on the Ryland family,’ Baptist Quarterly, 36 (1995), 202–3. It looks at the Birth Registers for Broadmead Baptist Church, Bristol, 1780–1909, which provide further detailed information about the large family of John Tyler Ryland. The information about various members of the family found in the Bristol Directories, and the Bristol Poll Books is noted, and this helps to understand the contribution made to the city of Bristol by J. T. Ryland's family, and particularly that of Charles Julius Ryland, his youngest son.
