RYAN from Dunmore, Kilkenny

[Allybee1062]

Hi everyone,

I have a Margaret RYAN born about 1838 in Dunmore, Kilkenny. Parents names are Edmond RYAN and Anastasia.  Margaret came to Australia some time between birth and 1858 when she married in a Roman Catholic Church in Melbourne, Australia.

If anyone has any information on this family or who can help me with further information on Edmond and Anastasia, I would love to hear from you.

Hello Alison

Griffiths Valuation - Kilkenny 1849-50 shows no Ryan families in the Parish of Dunmore but one was in the Townland of Dunmore ... Patrick Ryan, Dunmore, St. Johns, Kilkenny

Thanks very much for your reply Christopher.  I'll add Patrick to the mix and see what turns up.

I'm not sure if there is any connection, but I have a Bridget Ryan born about 1824 in Kilkenny, whose parents were James and Anastasia Ryan (nee Butler).  I think Bridget married Thomas McCormick in Kilkenny about 1845 and then migrated to Melbourne Australia a few years later.  Thomas and Bridget had 4 children, Anastasia, John, & Margaret, as well as my relative Mary Bridget who was born 1862 in Victoria.  I am not sure where the eldest 3 children were born. I have not been able to track down the exact date the family emigrated to Australia, but on Bridget's death certificate it states that she had lived in Australia 30 years (making it 1852). 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I've been away on holidays.

I don't know very much about my RYAN family other than the snippets of information found from certificates. My ancestor Margaret RYAN married Thomas BROWN in Keilor in 1858 and died in Fitzroy in 1909. They had 7 children. Some born in Gisborne, others in Echuca and the youngest in Essendon. Their names were Catherine, John, Anastasia, Jane, William x 2 and Elizabeth. From the marriage certificate it states that Margaret's parents are Edmond RYAN and Anastasia and her birthplace is Dunmore, Kilkenny. That is all I know. I have Margaret's birth year at around 1838 but this is calculated from her stated age on certificates. Please let me know if you find any connection. I wouldn't have thought a name like Anastasia would be too common in Ireland at that time and the fact that our RYAN's ended up in Melbourne at around the same time. It would seem like there may be a  connection.

Cheers,
Alison

Hi There,

Do you know who the youngest child Elizabeth married?  Was it William Augustus Cadwallader?  I'm just checking to see if we have the same family.

Thank you.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I don't check this site as often as I used to.  Yes it is the same family. William Augustus Cadwallader was my Great Grandfather. Frederick George Cadwallader was my Grandfather. Are you descended from this family too? My email address is * if you would like to get in touch. At least I check my emails daily!

Cheers,
Alison

I see you have Goodall/Baldock listed, I'am a direct ancestor and have the family history as best...Australia and Uk.
Just interested to see where your connection is.
