Looking for my cousins - the Ryans

Hi Chris,

I checked the Irish phone book (118.ie/) and found that there were no Ryans in Dunkerrin I'm afraid.

The marriage record from www.rootsireland.ie/ has little info:

Date of Marriage:13-Sep-1864
Parish / District:DUNKERRIN
County:Co. Offaly
Husband Name:JamesRyan Address:COORACLEVIN​ Denomination:Roman Catholic
Wife SusanMaher Roman Catholic

The baptism cert is on roots; I couldn't find any siblings for him

Name:James RyanDate of Birth:
Date of Baptism:01-Feb-1832Address:N. LParish/District:DUNKERRINGender:MaleCountyCo. Offaly
Denomination:Roman Catholic
Father:Patrick RyanMother:Catherine HolanOccupation:
Sponsor 1 /
Informant 1:Michael EganSponsor 2 /
Informant 2:Mary Nolan

Mother's surname could be a misspelling or mistranscription; here's the only marriage record from Offaly:

Date of Marriage:14-Nov-1830

Parish / District:BANAGHER
County:Co. Offaly
Husband
WifeName:PatrickRyan
CatherineMentanAddress:
Denomination:Roman Catholic

No Ryans in the relevant Irish Censuses in Offaly but Griffiths Valuation (free at askaboutireland.ie/) has 10 Ryans in Dunkerrin including 4 from Cooraclevin in 1851: John Ryan Tenant; Catherine Ryan Tenant; Catherine Ryan landlord to Bridget Carroll and William Pierce

The Tithe Applotments (also free at titheapplotmentbooks.national archives.ie/) have 10 Ryans in Dunkerrin in 1825

Thanks very much for that Col! I suppose many emagrated at that time as did my forebears.
