Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for help please. I recently attended the WDYTYA - Live at the NEC, I had a great show, very successful info' gathering time.
While at the show someone looked up for me on RootsIreland.ie and appears to have found the baptism of Mary Ryan (1837-1901).
Mary was baptised on 4th May 1837. Parish/District was Pallasgree / Tamplebredon. I understand that this parish crosses between Limerick & Tipperary. Parents were John Ryan, farmer & Johanna Welsh. Godparents were: Terrence Meagher & Margaret Hogan. Roman Catholic religion.
Mary Ryan went to Australia, I'm not sure when or whether she travelled directly or via Liverpool or whether she travelled alone.
On the 31st October 1865, in Australia she married William George Finch (1834-1907) in Ipswich Queensland. Witnesses were Robert G Oxford & Susan Oxford. They had a daughter Adeline Finch(30th July 1867 - 11 Aug 1889) born in Grantham, Queensland.
By 4th Jan 1870 when their second child was born the family had returned to London.
I am looking to go backwards for further Irish information about Mary's parents, birth location, her travel to Australia & possibly their return to London. If anyone has access to appropriate sites I would appreciate further information or direction, thanks.
Ithon
