ELEANOR RYAN FOWLER BOYD, born 1899, FALLIN

[kathy-9]

I am researching John Ryan and Mary Bonar Ryan who lived in theBlocks in Fallin. John died in 1923, Mary in 1930. The eldest daughter Eleanor Ryan took on several of the family children as was the norm in those days. I believe she also was a Justice of the Peace in the 1960#? The only memory I have of her was that she lived next door to an ice cream seller. She died in England as she went to live with her daughter there, maybe 1970s? Does anyone have any info or recollection of Eleanor or her family? Thank you, Kathy

Was Boyd her married name?  Whereabouts in England?

There is a death in 1987 Whitehaven Cumbria but it’s just Eleanor Boyd b 22.4.1899

Are you sure the details you have given are correct?

No birth on SP in Stirling 1898 - 1900 No birth in Stirling for an Eleanor Ryan at all.  One in Cumbernauld in 1899

Nearest 1901 entry is a 1yr old Helen Ryan b Coatbridge - parents John & Mary

No deaths in 1923 or 1930 in Stirling so where did the parents die?

No death in 1923 for a John Ryan in any Scottish county

3 deaths in 1930 for a Mary Ryan all in Lanarkshire - ages 32 and 39 - neither of whom were old enough to have a child in 1899 and a 74yr old who would have been beyond child bearing age by around 1906 so would not have had any young children to be looked after

She married David Boyd in 1940

Only close death is...

An age gap between those?
