Carroll, Using the NEHGS Massachusetts 1841-1910 VR database I find these: 14 Dec, 1864, James RONAN, m. b. Billerica ,s. James Ronan, spinner, b. Ireland, no name or birthplace of mother. Recorded Vol: 169 ; Page: 94. This record is indexed under the name Roman but is very clearly Ronan. Penmanship on this page was beautiful. Unable to find Elizabeth. 22 Apr, 1867, Michael RANAN, m. b. Haverhill, s. James & Bridget, spinner, both b. Ireland. Residence given as Haverhill. Recorded Vol: 196 ; Page: 193. Very clearly spelled Ranan in the book.
