Check with Parish Priest at Ballybricken Church, Waterford City.

He will have the birth registers.

You could also try Waterford Heritage Survey, Waterford City.

chrisjen and KeithR:

It will be tough trying to track down Ryans without more detail, as birth information is kept within individual parishes and there are so many churches in Co. Waterford.

If you have full death certificates, could you not attempt to work backwards? 

Keith,

You could get a lot of information from his military records held at The Public Records Office, Kew, Surrey.

Good luck to you both.

Waterford / Re: Guerins
« on: Sunday 13 November 05 15:27 GMT (UK)  »
"Soldiers Died" lists John Guerins as born in Cappoquin, but residing in Dungarvan:   5189 Private John Guerins died at home 23rd March 1915. **  However, you state he is buried in Tralee (have you seen his headstone?) and 'at home' may mean in the depot though usually when they write ' at home' it means the homeplace.   I have to leave that one up to you to decide.

In the 1911 Census Returns, there is listed as living at 12 Strand Street, Dungarvan:

    Guerin - John and Bridget, Denis.

This seems to be your John.

**Waterford County Council has computerised the Death Registers of the area, so they may provide you with more information. 

Good luck.

Waterford / Re: Power from Waterford
« on: Sunday 13 November 05 14:46 GMT (UK)  »
Just checked my list of Waterford men from 'Soldiers Died', and it seems the soldier about whom the letter was written was probably:

Pte. Pierce Power 3524 2nd Bttn. Leinster Regt., k.i.a. 12 April 1917, from St. John's, Waterford.

It is nice to have a little more information on him, for all of us.

Padre Moloney too deserves a mention; his name crops up time after time in  the Leinster Regt. histories - he was always in the thick of the action, tending to the wounded and dying, and was awarded a Military Cross as early as 1915!

Glad to help, and hope you have some success.

Yes, I live in Dungarvan and am a friend of the Connerys.   Mrs. Connery Snr. was a really lovely lady.   I would love to find out that she was  Bob's godmother.

Good luck.
