JOSEPH (abt 1786 - ) AND ANN RIDAL

JOSEPH and ANN RIDAL were my great great great grandparents. At the moment actual information on them is rather sparse. The marriage took place on 12th June 1811 in Rotherham, Yorkshire, England and Ann's maiden name was PROCTOR. The only child I've found to date of the marriage is my great great grandmother MARY ANN MYERS (nee RIDAL). The name RIDAL is one of those surnames that is open to a number of different spellings, a fact that makes tracing this line of ancestors  a lot more difficult.  

Joseph was born circa 1786 in Rotherham, Yorkshire, England but at the moment that is the only information I have.

The name PROCTOR is an English occupational name that described the steward, and is a contracted form of the Old French word procurateour < Latin procurator = agent. The term was used for solicitors, and officials such as collectors of taxes, and agents licensed to collect alms for lepers and monks. Procktor, Procter, Prockter are variations.
