Hi I looked up Pollagh Co and it is between Borrisoleigh and Thurles.
Are you on Facebook? There is a group studying Ryans. Ryan Genealogy & DNA Forum.
Michael Ryan's Baptismal entry in Newport Parish register reads - Michael son of Michael & Norry Ryan , Pollagh. 26 January 1841

Thanks MaryAnne,
I have researched Pollagh pretty thoroughly over the last month,the one my family lived in is west of Newport right on the border of Tipperary & Limerick.
To give you some indication, in the Parish of Abington just across the river in Limerick there are 161 entries for Ryan.
There are at least 4 other Townlands called Pollagh in Tipperary & more in other counties.
I will certainly check out the Facebook Forum.
Cheers Graeme R
