Ellen I will use your info to make a note in FTM2012 in case something comes up . Another member said there are Tobins still in Bansha but I have sent a letter to both with a stamped addressed envelope but no reply . Australia is a long way away and at 83 and pensioner knocking on their door is out of the question . I wonder if the Catholic Priest might be a good idea with my plea . You never know . Keep looking for there is a lot of Waterford info coming on line as per the emails I receive .Tipperary and Waterford are neighbours and yours would have left from Cobh ( Cork) .Off the cuff A parish covers part of Tipperary and Waterford . One of my ancestors came as a famine orphan in 1848 and had 9 children and they never asked their mother where she came from or who her mother and father were .

Could be a cousin or nephew for Matthew is an uncommon name . Your Matthew could be the son of my Matthew`s brother . I do not know Matthew`s Parents but my Matthew would have been born c1800 and married c1830 to Julia Tobin .  Do you know where your Ryans came from .

I also searched the great work of Janet and never came across a Matthew Ryan , My Matthew and Julia Tobin`s children were all Baptised from 1831 to 1844 at the Bansha Catholic Church . That is the only Irish record of this family , but Julia and family are in London in 1851 Census but no Matthew . Even with an uncommon name I am stuck  . Cheers to all and good luck .
