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.

  • Hi Ann,

     

    My name is John Dickinson. My Great Grandfather was Thomas Dickinson brother of Lawrence. Both lived in Limerick  and were sons of William Dickinson Crosby Lancashire England. I am guessing that there was an Alphonsus in your family tree but may be wrong. Please message if you wish.

  • Hello John.

    I think we may are related, my name is Angela nee Dickinson. daughter of Glennon Lawrence Dickinson. 

    Son of Alphonsous Dickinson and Elizabetheth Kennedy. 

    I have found you by searching the Dickinson name.

    I have only just began my family search last week.

    When I came across the family search tree site

    Here I have found John Clancy a third cousin related to us by our Great Grandparents.

    He has created a family tree very extentive and interesting, this can be vewied.

    To get our family hstory I would recommend searching the above site,

    I am now in liasons with Fergus as well.

    I would be very glad if you wish to keep in contact

    Best Wishes Angela
