RYAN's From Upperchurch to Australia
« on: Sunday 24 April 05 06:50 BST (UK) »
Looking for information about my RYAN/DWYER ancestors from Upperchurch, Co Tipperary.
John Ryan married Margaret O'Dwyer 6th Feb 1835 in Clonoulty/Rossmore Parish - witnessed by Edmund Walsh and Bridget Shanahan.
John's parents were Edmund and Mary Ryan.
Margaret's parents were Matthew Dwyer and Ann Shanahan.
John and Margaret had the following children in Upperchurch - Edmund, Matthew, Nancy (Ann), Thomas, Mary (died in infancy), Catherine (died in infancy) and Jeremiah (my Great Grandfather). Then in Australia they had Edward and Mary. They left Ireland for Australia in 1851 aboard the Emperor.

I am particulary interested in finding out if John and Margaret had siblings and more information about their parents.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Michael Ryan

Hi Michael try www.bdm.nsw.gov.au for a free search. I found an Edward and a Mary RYAN on there.

Alsowww.naa.gov.au (National Archives of Australia) for Immigrant lists.

Good Luck
