[Probably need to identify if John RYAN was the skipper of "Ariel" at that time ?  ;) ]

... outwards - destined for Auckland  ... via the East Coast - "Ariel" : RYAN - July 26 ...

That's about it I think.

But you should be able to plot his voyages with that info.

[Note:  During same year 1859, two other vessels also named "Ariel" were in New Zealand waters :
"Ariel" - Brigantine - Capts.  DAVIS and F.S. WHITE
"Ariel" - Schooner - Capt. R.A. GUNN
Both of these though, worked the trans-Tasman route (AUS-NZ)  ]

The other three ryan children were George (born 1830), Catherine, known as Kate (837) and Anthony (1840). John's wife, Catherine, was buried on January 6, 1846, according to St Patrick's Cathedral records. John Ryan was my g-g-grandfather; I have written a long spiel on his life, post marriage.
