Hiya Woodentop, no Im not the sister of the Ryder boys. Im married to Will who is Bills son. Yes your right they did have a sister Marion. They moved to Wigan Rd in about 1940 from Downall Green. Sadly Bill died 15yrs ago next month aged 60. Marion emigrated to America in the late 50's but died over there 3 months after Bill aged 61. There is a photo of Marion on the album page 6 taking part in walking day.
janice, knew all the Ryder family from their time at Wigan road including mr & mrs Ryder Bills mum & dad they had a donkey in the stable at the rear of their house on Wigan rd
Woodentop, thats right they did live at Wigan Rd for a number of years after they left Downall Green. Old Bill died from Wigan Rd in 1968. They did have a pony in the stable at the rear of the house it was also kept on the pen at Dam Corner in fact they had 2 at one time. I will put a picture on the album.
