Looking for information on Ryan and Hayes families

Stephanie:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Thomas and Helen were married in the Pallasgrean/Templebredon RC parish. See Civil marriage record below which includes the names of the fathers of the bride and grrom. I located baptismal records for five other children in addition to Michael. There was a Patrick in December 1867 and he may have died young. There was another Patrick in 1869 Honora 1871 John 1872 and Mary 1875. I searched the 1901 census and could not find Thomas, Helen/Ellen or Michael in the Knockainy area. Do you have any additional info?

Roger -

Thank you for the prompt reply. This is exciting news! My wish is to find out as much information as possible for completing my family tree, so this is a big help. Ideally, I would like to find further information on both families from whatever sources available. I also hope to see whether there are living relatives in the Knockainey area. Could you recommend additional research sources?

Regarding Thomas and Helen/Ellen Ryan, with the exception of your information, I have no further data. Michael Ryan (their son, my grandfather) came to the US and was never able to return for a visit home to Ireland. He made a life in Minneapolis, Minnesota, married a Kennedy, had 9 children and passed away in 1949.

Thank you again.

Regards

Stephanie
