Hello,
When I found the marriage record for my ancestor, Bridget Power, daughter of Mary Ryan, in 1911 in St Peter and Paul's, Clonmel, Tipperary, I noticed that the Catholic pirest who officiated at the wedding was William Ryan. I am looking for Mary's brother, also William Ryan, who was born and raised in Clonmel. Regular searches have revealed little. I never thought to consider him being a priest.
Is there a resource specifically for Catholic priests in Tipperary? One that would tell me his parents names, birthdate and birthplace?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Barbara in Connecticut

Barbara,
I looked for a Priest in 1911 William Ryan.
Only one listed in County Limerick, but was born in Emly, County Tipperary.
He was 62 then.
You would have to use the Parish books and work out is he was Mary Ryan's brother.
