I picked up a piece of paper in the public library yesterday, and decided on a whim to go and look at Ancestry.com for my grandmother who was born in Buninyong. Her name was Frances Elloner Cahill! I had always misspelt Elloner, and I think she did too! My mother, Frances Ena Ryan was one of the five children: Eileen, Adrian, Ena, Mabs and Kevin (Arthur). I live in Mt Helen (Ballarat) and surprisingly that was the name of the house where the Ryans lived in Essendon (71 Buckley Street). what else do you need to know? How come you are tracking the Ryan clan? Michael Bird 2114 Geelong Rd MT HELEN 3350 0439845577
