Tierney/Ryan family Liverpool 1800’s going round in circles Help Needed

[liver007]

A few years ago I joined roots chat, I posted information on the Ireland Forum regarding the Tierney and Ryan family ...the families are part of my mother’s family history. I am getting nowhere fast.  I joined ancestry.uk but i am still confused.. this what I know from census records. On the Tierney side:
George Tierney DOB: @1872 born Liverpool. 1909 living 8 Bridgewater st Liverpool. 1911 trade public’s s manager living 20 Park Place, Liverpool he married Annie Tierney Nee Ryan DOB: 22/12/1873 Liverpool. Died 25/5/1937 Liverpool. They married St Bernard’s Liverpool 14/12/1899

George’s Father Michael Tierney Trade Butcher Journeyman 1899 living at 46 Copperfield St Liverpool

Ann’s parents Ann Ryan Nee Finnerty DOB @1845 Ireland Died 16/3/1898 Liverpool married to Patrick Ryan DOB: @1841 Ireland married 25/1/1863 Liverpool.  I believe Ann’s father was Michael Finnerty deceased before 1863.
Patrick’s father was I believe Patrick Ryan.

I am interested in the parents because it is a massive brick wall ..I have looked and looked and I need another set of eyes to find what I am missing ..any questions and I will try to answer them..

In anticipation...thanks Keith
