John Ryder was born in 1562, the son of Edward de Rythre of Carrington, Cheshire. His great-grandfather, Thomas de Rythre (d.1552) of Scarcroft, was Cofferer to the Household of King Edward VI and a first cousin of Henry Percy, 6th Earl of Northumberland, through their grandfather Sir William de Rythre (1408–1476) of Ryther Castle, Scarcroft and Harewood Castle. Bishop Ryder was the first of his family to spell his name Ryder, rather than de Rythre/Ryther. His first cousin, Mary Ryther (daughter of the Lord Mayor of London, and her husband Sir Thomas Lake, were the great-grandparents of the Duchess of Chandos.

Famous quotes containing the word birth:
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:”

“I wouldn’t put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if He wanted, but I very much doubt if He would.”
