Hello Everyone!!

Thank you Pampoen!! ,for advising Raymond to make posts re James Edward Ryan xx

Hello Raymond!!

Apologies re my delay in replying to you. My PC has been in repair and I have just collected it.

Re James Edward Ryan b 1862 without the Edward as a middle name. I have an image of his birth certificate & also his marriage certificate to Mary Rose Knieser in 1897  ;) ;)

I am willing to share them with you.

May I ask which child of their children is her grandparent please ?

James Edward Ryan is my Grt Grand Uncle & his younger brother Joseph Edward Ryan b 1867 is/was my MATERNAL Grt Grandfather.

They were born both in the same town in Seacombe Wallasey aka Poulton cum Seacombe UK & they both added the name " Edward " as a middle name but I dont know why ?

I have no photos of my Ryan family at all. Not even my maternal Grandmother May Agnes Hannah nee Ryan as she passed away 10 days after my Mum was born in June 1921.

Re James Edward Ryan also had a called son James Henry Ryan who to came to UK & married my paternal Great Aunt Laura Kate Cooper but later separated or divorced, but that's another story.

I have no photos of J H Ryan either grr but I know he returned to SA as a joiner with his son Rex Harry Ryan. They lived according to records near James Edward Ryan.

I am hoping too that maybe your wife my newly inherited cousin,  would have a photo to share of any Ryan please?

If its any help too I also have done my DNA with Ancestry and have the kit number.

I noticed you mentioned that he was may have been administrator for a Lord Townsend ??

There were a few of them but may I ask which one just for curiosity.

Hope to hear from you both soon and so sorry for the tardiness.

Hi again

Thankyou Garsonite,

I cannot find a James Ryan b 1862  listed with an L in the 1871 or 1881 census and beyond.

I do know that like his other younger brother Joseph Ryan b 1867 ( my grt grandfather ) like James both added the name Edward as a middle name.

Thank you Trish1120,

Thanks I searched for that clue and found others to around his age arriving so trying to decipher them all

Hi
John Ryan was born October quarter of 1859

His mother passed in 1886 of lung cancer

The event of them both could have happened after her passing ?

Re paper work we havent anything,  at least James Ryan left for South Africa, all we know is that any time after the 1881 Census he is married ( we dont know when as its South Africa ) and he had his first child by 1902.

And John Ryan into oblivion ?

Cheers
Maureen

Hi Shaun,
Thank you so much  for replying, my apologies the word was exiled that they used as follows...


"The family lore stated that James Ryan and his brother had disgraced the family by entering the church vestry and dressing in the priest's vestments. Some communion wine may also have been consumed."

This was so much of a scandal that they were effectively exiled: James to South Africa, his brother to Australia. The stuff of legends, etc.!"



Cheers

Cheshire Lookup Requests / John Ryan b1859
« on: Thursday 31 December 20 02:19 GMT (UK)  »
 :'(  Hi I have hit a brickwall with my elusive Great Uncle John Ryan over the last decade but I am not giving up  ;)

He was born in Seacombe Wallasey in 1859 to John & Ellen/Eleanor Ryan

I have all the family details of him inclusive of the 1861,1871 & 1881 census.

His last know occupation was a quarry worker near Seacombe on the 1881 census.

The only other thing I know via family lore about him is that he and his brother James b 1862  donned the priests robes and drank all the communion wine.

And they were extradited, James to South Africa which is true as James came up via a DNA match.

Apparently John was extradited to Australia.

I cannot find any records at all in UK or Australia re John Ryan and would deeply appreciate any help to find him.

Thank you regardless

Oh My Goodness  :o :o :o :o Thank you so much!!Gmauchan!!

All those extra people I can search now :0 plus 2 new marriages :0

James Edward is a cheeky fellow by the looks of it as he was born James Ryan in 1862 in Seacombe Wallasey in Cheshire in England.

His mother Eleanor aka Ellen was born in Maynooth.

It narrows the date a bit too when he arrived here and for his marriage having 6 children in 11 years etc.

Thank you so much again and I will look further into them now!! I am so grateful too as you have also found the correct parents for his wife xx

South Africa / James Edward Ryan Family Western Cape
« on: Saturday 06 April 19 12:27 BST (UK)  »
Hello! :)

I was wondering if some kind person could help me find some births or marriages please or anything on this family that lived in Wynberg Western Cape South Africa.

The first marriage is between James Edward Ryan b 1862 in UK & Maria Rosina Keiser b aka Rose Kniese. I believe it may have been a catholic marriage.

All we know that it was defnitely after 1881. James was still in the UK in Seacombe Wallasey Cheshire in the 1881 Census as a quarry worker and we dont when he emigrated to South Africa?

James Edward Ryan's fathers name was John Ryan.

They did have 6 children and one of them being a Patrick John Ryan born 1902 in Dieprivier.

Not all the children's births are coming up I will ask for help about them later so not to confuse things.

Thank you kindly in advance if you can help & regardless of outcome.

Cheers

Maureen

Lancashire / Re: Marriage of James Williams & Sarah Williamson
« on: Tuesday 01 October 13 11:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi again!! Could I please plead with someone if they are going to the record office to please look up these details I posted earlier as I am doing it on behalf of someone else and I am really trying to help them out in this matter.

The people concerned whom I am helping have had really bad luck in tracing details of the William/Williamson families and have had trouble getting the correct certificates for them.

Again thank you in advance :)

Maureen
