The Ryan name certainly is a difficult one to pin down! My ggggrandfather's family lived in Pallasgreen area early 1800's. There were 7 brothers that we know of, due to a small hand-written note left by one brother's (James) grand-daughter taking notes dictated by her mother Catherine Louisa Ryan, daughter of this James Ryan. As Catherine's daughter was born in NY 1850, this note was written after Catherine left Ireland & before Catherine died in Chicago (1848-1897). We know that one of the brothers, (1)James Ryan, married Bridget Hayes (date unknown), and their first child Michael was born at Kilduff Castle farm, Pallasgrean, 7 Sept 1823. Sponsors were Michael Ryan, brother of James, the child's father, and Bridget Hickey. The other brothers listed on the slip of paper that miraculously was recently found were 2.Daniel Ryan, Corelish 3.Maurice Ryan, Corelish 4.Matthew (Matt) Ryan, Brackyle 5.Jeremiah (Jerry) Ryan, Dromalty (Dromalta) 6. Philip Ryan, no location given, occupation blacksmith & wagonwaker. James Ryan is living in Dromalty, Cappamore (Co Limerick) when his subsequent children are born (after Michael, 1823). Two die in childhood, 1 emigrates to NY in 1848 (Catherine) & 4 emigrate to Melbourne, AU (1850's). First wife Bridget Hayes dies shortly after birthing her last son (1839), and James Ryan remarries an unknown woman. I believe descendants of Daniel Ryan are still in Corelish, on the original farm. Nothing is known of Maurice Ryan. Matt Ryan is said to have had a daughter Mary Ryan, who may have been born 1820's, as she was a contemporary cousin to my gggrandmother Catherine Louisa Ryan (born 1828). Mary's married name was Mary Hayes & she had a son William, both of whom were in NYC in later 1800's, visiting Catherine & family (journal entries). William Hayes was working for a NY newspaper at the time. Matt Ryan may have taken over the family farm at Kilduff, later owned by Dillon family. Nothing is known of Jeremiah Ryan. Nothing is known of Philip Ryan. I'm hoping to find information on Maurice, Matthew, Jeremiah & Philip, who were all in Pallasgreen area in mid-1800's.
