Janet,
    Thank  you! That was incredible I have not been able to find much on the Ryan's except the lines I mentioned! Hopefully now I can obtain further certificates. The name Ryan in Ireland is like Smith so by getting this info, certificates may lead me to the correct area of Clare Ireland to search in. I have found on certificates conflicting information like Bunratty,Limerick and so on. Bun ratty was also a district covering a large area, I have written to most Priest in these areas with no luck, but now with a few more lines to trace may have some hope.

Many regards,

Fran
