Ryde family

These people are no relation to my family or Alister's but Gwendoline Florence Ryde married Roscius Glubb, whose mother was a Gill - hence I came across them and thought I'd document what I could.  Gwendoline's father was Percy Nathaniel Ryde.  

Martha Ann Bluett (1845 - 1931) and Walter Ryde (1841 - 5 December 1906) were married in 1864.  Walter had arrived in New Zealand around 1863.  He settled in Oxford, Canterbury.  They had the following eleven children:

1. Walter William Ryde (1865 - 1935) married in 1890 Elizabeth Lucy Lilly (1870 - 1945)
  1.1 Ivy May Ryde (1894)


2. George Arthur Ryde (1866 - 1943) married in 1891 Frances Sarah Friar (1882 - 1948)
  2.1 Arthur Ashley Ryde (1891 - 1966) married Charlotte Pole Clark in 1921
  2.2 Annie Gladys Ryde (8 April 1893 - 1980) married Malcolm William Frampton (29 November 1894 - 1985) in 1920
  2.3 Rachel Moore Ryde (14 June 1895 - 1991) married Thomas Smellie Jackson (7 May 1899 - 1975) late in life, in 1965.
  2.4 William Frederick Ryde (1897) married Alice Victoria Wells (1901) in 1924
  2.5 Eric Walter Ryde (26 March 1900 - 1975)
  2.6 Francis Willard Ryde (1903 - 1903) died as a baby aged 7 months
  2.7 George Wilfred Ryde (1903 - 1920) died aged 17 years
  2.8 Charles Edward Ryde (12 June 1905 - 1993) married Myrtle Eileen Woods (1906 - 1927) in 1927.  Sadly Myrtle died later the same year of her marriage.  It doesn't seem that Charles remarried.


3. Annie Ada Ryde born 26 July 1868 and died 1868 as a baby.

4. Henry John Ryde born 26 March 1870 and died at the age of 92 in 1963.  He married Emma Grace Wheeler (1873 - 1961) in 1893.  They had the following children:
  4.1 Grace Ellen Ryde (1895) married William Percy Smith in 1920.
  4.2 Irene Ryde (1897)
  4.3 Henry Frederick Edward Ryde (7 May 1902 - 1987) married Margaret Ngatangi Taiporutu Holmes (12 March 1905 - 1987) in 1923.
  4.4 Edna Ruth Ryde (1907)


5. Frederick Ryde born 1872 and married Jessie Davis (1878 - 1938) in 1896.  However, he died at the age of just 25 in 1897, and so they only had the one child:
  5.1 Ben Fredine Arnold Ryde (1897 - 1964) married Jane Moffitt (4 August 1895 - 1980) in 1924. 
Frederick's widow Jessie went on to marry for the second time, to Peter Ferguson Campbell (1876 - 1929) in 1901.  Peter and Jessie had two children together, who sadly both died as infants:
  Cyril Campbell born in 1902 and died at just three days old
  Melva McNaughten Campbell born in 1907 and died at just three weeks old.


6. Emma Eliza Ryde born 1874 and married 7 July 1901 at St Andrew's Manse, Oxford, Canterbury by Rev J. McKenzie to David Alexander Murray (1870 - 1963).  At the time of her marriage Emma was the eldest surviving daughter of Walter Ryde.  Emma died in 1971 aged 97!  Emma and David had the following children:
  6.1 Ashley Bruce Hector MacDonald Murray (1902 - 1966) married Frances Willard Lymburn (10 March 1898 - 1991) in 1923

  7.2  Annie Lucy Mavis Ryde (1904)

8. Percy Nathaniel Ryde (1879 - 1955).  Percy married Isabelle Sarah Chapman (registered as "Hyde" not Ryde).  Percy died in 1955 and Isabelle died in 1962 aged 81 - she had been born in 1880 to James and Clara Chapman. They had the following children, including Gwen, who ended up marrying Ross Glubb:
  8.1 Gwendoline Florence Ryde (6 July 1906 - 8 June 1993) married Roscius Glubb (see here)
  8.2 Russell Nathaniel Ryde (25 November 1908 - 1997)

9. Janet Annie Ryde born 1881 married Thomas Ewart Brotherton in 1906.  They had one child:
  9.1 Ruby Alberta Brotherton (1906)
Janet apparently married again to Ernest Edward Coker (1881 - 1955) in 1915.  Janet died in 1954.  

10. Garnet Howard Ryde born 1882 married Lillian Frances McMillan (1889 - 1965) in 1911.  Garnet died in 1974.  Garnet and Lillian had two children:

12. Frank Ashley Ryde born on 4 August 1885 and married Sarah Annie Mitchell in 1925.  He married late and didn't have a long marriage - Sarah dying aged 54 in 1945 after twenty years of marriage.  He died in 1983, a couple of years short of 100.
