Thomas RYAN and Wife Mary RYAN nee Kelly

[wexfordlad]

Hi I am looking for any help that anyone can offer. I am looking to try and find the burial location of Thomas Ryan, he was born 10th Dec 1870 in Ballanock and was married in 1901 to Mary Kelly and then again in 1918 to Margaret Merriman. He is not buried with second wife for sure, I don’t know where first wife Mary Kelly was buried. I believe he died in 31st October 1939 .
His father was Matthew RYAN and his wife was Bridget RYAN nee FURLONG who were from Balloughton near Wellington Bridge who were married in Grantstown, I am looking for any help in finding where Thomas is buried. People who knew him think he was buried in Duncormick and his wife Mary Kelly went to Carrig . I have searched Duncormick cemetery and the graves seem very old for someone that may have been buried in 1939. I cant locate Mary Kelly in Carrig either .Hes not in the new graveyard in Rathangan either. Would anyone be able to suggest or have any information on burials in Duncormick, or where some one in 1939 would have been buried.Does anyone know can you search old obituaries foe Wexford in 1939?

This Thomas Ryan?

It is quite possible that a laborer from Forth Commons may not have a headstone at all - though of course some did.

I checked in the BNA - no sign of a death notice for him. Not surprising, as:
BNA coverage is not great for Wexford around 1939, and
Again, he was a laborer.

The INA may yield better results, but I don't have a subscription.

Did he have any children with his second wife? Some of those Merrimans of Forth Mountain/Commons are my relatives from back around 1800

One suggestion - check for/in parish burial registers.
Piercetown, which includes some of Forth Commons, has one that started in the 1700s.
Some other parishes started death/burial registers in the 1900s, registers that don't appear in standard reference works, as those mainly concern themselves with the 1800s and earlier.

Hi Wexflyer, thanks for your post. Yes thats the Thomas Ryan. Unfortunately there were no children from his second. I have located his second wife Margaret "bing" Merriman buried in Murrintown .Her brother was William and believe he had only one leg.I am not sure why Thomas wasnt buried with second wife, as he died in 1939 and she died in 1962.
Do you know if any parish registers are online or do you need to try and request to see in parish?

I don't believe any of the parish registers are online (for the time you are interested in). So, yes, best to either call or visit the parishes in person.
