Hi all,
My previous related posting about this person is here:
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=818980.msg6811519#msg6811519In desperation I've bought a 1 month subscription to roots ireland, to see if I can find more while we are all confined to home.
My question is ... how do I narrow this down.
The following is the information I have, and I'd like to find some way to narrow this down, but with little knowledge of the practical geography of Waterford, never mind in 1850, I don't know enough to be able to take a guess about which parish I'm looking for (assuming that one of these is my person).
The site shows 4 people with the 'right parent's names' per her marriage certificate and her death certificate (although the death cert is confusing, but I'm going with John as her father's name as I figure that came from her own direct knowledge, not that of her children after her death nearly 70 years later), she lists her father's profession as Carpenter on her marriage cert:

She married John BLEACH in 1851, he had been in the 85th which was based in Dunvargan Castle between 1849 and 1851 in Yorkshire in 1851, and lists her age as 19 on her marriage certificate, so I did a search for Margaret RYAN b Waterford 1830 +/- 5 years.
"1849 Aug 12
85th Regt. Of Foot Shropshire Light Infantry
1850 Jan 21
85th Regt. Of Foot Shropshire Light Infantry"
http://www.waterfordmuseum.ie/exhibit/web/Display/article/345/1/The_Crown_Forces_Garrison_Regiments.htmlI've tried checking whether any of the parishes listed above is close to Dunvargan, and the answer is ... not really, with the 1829 listing seeming closest, but I am sure that she would have put her age as 22 on her marriage docs if she was really 22 and not 19, but that is just my own speculation ...
Any assistance appreciated!
Regards,
Patricia
