In the 1938 census, Ellen lists her birthplace as Kilmallock, Effin, Limerick.

Limerick had plenty of Ellen Ryans born c. 1877-79. In searching for 'our' Ellen, am trying to narrow down the possibilities by looking at birth and baptism records for Ellen Ryans born at that time in Limerick.

Which of these locations is near Killmallock: Kilteely & Drumkeen? Killeagh? Rathkeale? Newport? Dearpark? Knocktoran?

In the 1901 census, Ellen was being visted by a Mary A. Ryan, age 20. A younger sister, perhaps?

Aha! Disregard above. (This is a work in progress) Ellen Ryan listed her date of birth as 7 September 1878. That rules out many of the baptism record options offered by Amcestry,com.

When Searching the Census for Effin the two DED areas to check are Tobernea and Ballymacshaneboy.

I searched for Thomas Ryan and Catherine Ryan. I found one Thomas Ryan living in Garranekeagh, aged 46 with a sone Cornelius aged 16. no wife so he may be widowed or she may have been away visiting. If this is Thomas mentioned above he would have been born in 1855 and at least 23 when Ellen above was born.

I found a marriage record for Thomas Ryan and Catherine Regan! on Dec 28th 1873.
