My Grandfather was cousin to Abe Mitchell. I am researching family history and wondered whether any of the contributors here have any photographs or articles I could have. I have a few I could share.

Abe’s son Leonard Abe Mitchell was golf pro at Crew’s Hill Golf Club Enfield Middlesex until his death in 1978. Word has it hat Leonard fathered a child but did not marry. Does anyone know if there is a grandchild of the famous Abe out there?

Thank you
Val Roberts (nee Mitchell)

I wonder how a great granddaughter came to have the name Ryder, when Sam Ryder had no sons to carry on his name. Did she just happen to marry someone with that name?

Hi Tom,

My dad tells me his aunt Grace had 2 daughters, Phyllis and Ruby, his mum was Jessica Williams, she had 5 sons, Frank, Harry, Ron, George, and i think Jack, they used to holiday at the Ryder house which he remembers as a big mansion, and the first car he sat in was a rolls royce. We used to go there now and again but i was only baby, my older sisters probably remember more, hope u find that helpfull.

Hi,

My name is Tom Martell and my grandmother is Ruby Evelyn Ryder. She was born in West Ham in 1918. Her mother is listed as Williams (so I am assuming Grace and father Jack. I remember going to visit an Auntie Phil in Polegate near Eastbourne this would be the other daughter.

Would be great to catch up and see if this is correct

Regards
Tom Martell

Great decision by Monty, just over 2 months until all the action starts. Wales is looking forward to hosting one of the greatest sporting events on the planet. Lets hope Europe can bring the trophy back!

You can’t argue with Monty’s selections. All will bring something to the party.

On another note, could you drop me an email when you get the chance? I couldn’t seem to find your contact details anywhere.

Thanks a lot

Thomas
