Hi Laurie, Sorry for the LONG delay in replying to your posting. Don't think our RYANS are connected. MY RYANS: John RYAN Born C 1833 married Honorah KENNEDY Born C1833 in 1857 in South Australia. They were both from Ireland. Honora was born in Tipperary and Baptised in Kylenagoona, Borrisokone, Ireland. Not sure where in Ireland John RYAN was from, however they lived in Strathalbyn in South Australia. John was a Farmer in Strathalbyn, I will keep you email incase something connects at a later date.
