Hello from Scotland. Looking for help to find my great great grandmother Catherine Ryan's (actual birthdate and her mother's name and birthdate) who married my gg grandad, Lawrence Dickinson in St Michael's RC Chapel, Limerick in 1879. In the 1901 and 1911 Limerick Census she is 3 years older than Lawrence making her birth year 1856. Then her death certificate states that when she died on 3 May 1915 in Limerick she was 51 years when in fact she should have been 59 years according to the census details. Also Catherine is known as Mary Catherine, Catherine M, kat, Kathleen.
On their marriage certificate it tells us she had been living in Cecil Street, her dad was William Ryan, a builder and her sister Charlotte was a witness.
I really would appreciate help in these 2 areas as I am struggling.

best wishes
Ann.

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and found three possibilities for Catherine, however, I did not find any Charlotte Ryan baptismal records anywhere in Co. Limerick with a father William. I limited the search for Catherine to the five RC parishes in Limerick city.

  • Hello Roger and thank you for your help. Catherine Ryan also went by the name Mary Catherine, Catherine M, Kathleen. Charlotte is listed as her sister on Catherine and Lawrence's marriage cert.
