Ryland, John

SOCIETY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION: John Ryland of Northampton proposed member 16.1.1784 by John Jebb 2nded Henry Amory. Rejected

Probably John Collett Ryland DNB 1723-1792 but possibly his son John Ryland DNB 1753-1825. One of very few to be rejected from SCI (before 1790 only him and Samuel Favell proposed 25.10.1782 and later accepted 6.2.1784). Possibly because of their intolerance towards Catholics?
