Hello: Is anyone researching the family of Patrick Ryan and Catharine McKue/Hue/Cue of Bethel? They are the grandparents of Thelma Catharine Ryan "Pat" Nixon. I have found a reference to them being from Co Mayo but I can not determine when they immigrated to America nor do I know their parents. What Catholic churches were in Bethel or surrounds in the late 1800s? What ceneteries should be looked at to try to find their death dates? In 1880 their Census entry is as follows: Patrick RYAN 47 IRE Works in Hat factory (which one? any records available?) IRE IRE Catharine wife 43 IRE Keeping house IRE IRE Thomas son 21 CT hat factory IRE IRE John son 19 CT hat factory IRE IRE Mary E. dau 17 CT hat factory IRE IRE William son 14 CT at school IRE IRE Catharine dau 12 CT at school IRE IRE Michael son 5 CT at school IRE IRE Francis 4 CT ---------------- IRE IRE Ann dau 2 CT --------------- IRE IRE In 1860 a Michael McKue was living in the household as brother in law. Any info on the spouses of the children appreciated. William M Ryan was the father of Pat Ryan Nixon. Thanks, Steven C. Perkins -- Steven C.
