Hi Emmalena,
Although I don't have any specific information on AE Ryall, I have been curious about him. Our line came out of Liverpool. There is an urban myth about my Great Grandfather John Edmund Ryall (born 10 September 1865) running away to sea, and my Grandfather (born Hartley Vale, NSW, Australia 9 July 1894) was named Ernest Albert Ryall. Seems very coincidental.
John Edmund Ryall's father was Thomas John Ryall, notated by hand on JER's death certificate, but I haven't been able to locate any further information.
regards
Jeff Ryall, Melbourne, Australia
