In 1772 he was living at Queen’s Row, Knightsbridge, and in 1773 near the Hammersmith turnpike. In 1774 he opened his print-shop, No. 159 in the Strand.

On the 1st of April 1783 he fled from his home at Knightsbridge, and the advertisement offering £300 for his arrest was published in the newspapers on April 3. 2. _A Catalogue of Mr Ryland’s Exhibition_ at Mr Pollard’s in Piccadilly.
