Looking for birthplace of my great-great grandparents, John Ryan and Ellen (Walsh) Ryan

Hi Suzanne M.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . 

Using a search site . . Roots (paid) . . I found what I believe is the marriage of John/Ellen . . on Jan 31 . 1837

in Glenmore .Co.Kilkenny. . . 

I hope this advances your knowledge and research  . . . 

Cheers . . . Eamonn

Eamonn, this is awesome! Thank you.  I had thought they might've been married in Newfoundland, but I really don't know.  Is there a way to find out if this couple left for Canada, or any other records that might prove they are the same Newfoundland/Maine-bound ancestors?   My family is going to be excited to see this part of the puzzle solved.  Thanks again!  What a great service you offer.

Hi Suzanne  . . . 

Glad we were of assistance . . . .

There are NO records of travel . . from that time . . however . . I did a further search of a (Church)  . .  TAX register  ..known as . " Tithes Applotment 1823 - 1837 ". 

http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp

This was a tax on all property owners . . for the upkeep and support . . of the Church of Ireland . . in their own locality.

There I found three Ryan notations . . for that Townsland in Kilkenny  (see below )

___________________________________________________________________

I then searched " Griffiths Valuation "   1848 -1864       (another tax roll )    NO Ryans listed . . . 

________________________________________________________________________

I then moved on to search for Ryan's . . possibly still living in Glenmore . . in the National 1901 census  . . . NO Ryans .

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. 

So . . there is the best we can assist you with . . .. those Ryan's ( they weren't to know it ) were getting out . . just before the Famine 1845 - 1850   aka. . (An Gorta Mór) . . . . 

Are there family Ryan decendents still living in NFland ???

Thanks Eamonn!  I'm going to work with what you gave me and see if I can track down some Newfoundland relatives.  I know a lot more than I did yesterday.  So appreciate your help.
