I think he is the husband of my great aunt Annie. With his wife Annie and infant son . Born in county Tipperary they had left on the Baltic liner for New York on 14 th February 1915 , however they returned on the Baltic return trip to Liverpool arriving 12th March 1915
I'm not sure if anything on the following helps sort out if he was great aunt Annie's husband:
There are 2 UK outgoing passenger lists; the family boarded in Tipperary, to get to Liverpool, and then Liverpool to New York. The trip from Thurles to Liverpool was
15 Feb 1915.
The US shipping manifest for the Baltic ship arriving 17 Feb 1915 in New York. shows Patrick (age 33) as born in Leigh, England
*, Annie (age 33) in Moyne, Ireland, and infant James (11 mos) in
Thurles, Ireland.
The following may or may not be your man, but the times and places match too well:
In the Dublin Daily Express 18 May 1915, there was an articles on multiple charges on fraud/bankruptcy. At the end of this article, is this:
The last was a case under the Bankruptcy code, in which a man named Patrick Ryan, who apparently came from Thurles, was indicted for having on February 15 left Ireland, bringing with him portion of hid property which ought to be distributed amongst his creditors. On that day month he was adjudicated a bankrupt and was arrested at Liverpool.Other similar articles indicate that he pleaded guilty, but was allowed out on bail (after the May court ruling) to consult a bankruptcy lawyer, and that he was to return to court in the July sessions.
* I would think he said he was from "Leigh" without stating what country, and the person filling out the passenger assumed wrong.
This is probably the correct birth for his son James, in case you don't have it, showing his mother Annie as maiden name "Wall":
