RYAN BROTHERS PATRICK & MICHAEL EMIGRATE TO CANADA 1823

Help!! Two brothers left Ireland on "coal ship" with stops in Newfoundland, & Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Michael Ryan got off in Harbour Grace , Newfoundland. (birth approx 1798-1803 Ireland???)

Patrick Ryan got off ship in Sydney, Nova Scotia (birth approx 1803 Ireland - death 1882 Sydney , Nova Scotia.

Patrick brought to Canada a wooden cross with metal Jesus. He became Farmer/fisherman with fishing lot on Aspy Bay & 200 Acres in what today is called River Ryan. (Lingan, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia)

Patrick could not read or write. He married in 1829 Mary MacIntyre (scottish born) they had 11 children.

Thomas 1830

Elizabeth 1833

Michael 1836

Patrick 1839 -1910

John P 1842-1912

Alexander 1842-1872

William 1845

Kate 1847

Mary Ann 1849

James 1850

Margaret 1853

Looking to whatever happened to Michael as well. Perhaps childrens names are familiar to family looking for 2 brothers who emigrated to Canada in early 1820's

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Have you searched through all the many Ryan messages on the message board? Maybe you will see a similar story to your Ryan family.

    Have you considered autosomal DNA testing. Possibly you will match others with Ryan connections.

    I noticed that you have posted in a number of parishes. All messages end up on the main message board. I will be marking the other messages as duplicates and referring them to this message.
