Looking for any information on the Ryan family. Last known address Munster Lane. Patrick Ryan married Bridget Madden Apr 27, 1895. They had 4 children; Thomas b. 1896, d. 1898, Maria b. 1898 Ireland d. 1957 Toronto, Canada, Patrick Joseph b. 1902 d.?, & Martin b. 1910 d. ?.
Some info that I do have relates to my grandmother Maria. She married Thomas O'Brien (Cdn soldier) on Feb. 10, 1919 Galway Parish No. 2 (St. Joseph's Church). Came to Canada in 1920. I also have some info on her brother Martin. Apparently he married Anne Mooney at Tuam 3/11/1930, and went on to have at least 3 children whose names are Sissy, Kiernan, & Jerry (?). Not really sure of those names as my aunt (who would be their cousin) is not entirely sure. Years ago, many things were deemed adult conversations which were not shared with children. I also know that another brother, Patrick "Uncle Packey" emigrated to Canada in 1923. It's believed he moved away from Toronto, Ontario & Maria lost touch with him sometime in the 1950's.
Would be grateful if anyone could provide any information on Martin, Anne & their children/grandchildren.

Not sure if you searched for the family in the 1901 and 1911 census yet?
This looks to be the family in 1901, but Patrick Ryan is not yet married to Bridget. He is shown as a widow. Looks like Bridget was not Maria's birth mother.

Here they are in 1911. The youngest child is named James vs. Martin. Possibly he was James Martin or Martin James or there is another sibling.
