Tipperary / Re: Battle of Ballycohy
« on: Monday 21 August 23 16:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello again, just to clarify, this is my great grandfather John Ryan and his family in the 1901 census attached, its the only John Ryan in Ballycohey in 1901, with his family, so im wondering if thats the same John Ryan who is celebrated on the 1868 memorial, or was there another one who had to move away from Tipperary to escape punishment?  I dont mind waiting for the answer if someone sees this in a few years time, M

Hello, John Ryan 1841-1913 Ballycohey Tipperary, maarried to a Catherine Doherty 1848-1929 Ballycohey, he is my great grandfather, his sons John and Bryan went into the pub trade in North inner city Dublin, so I dont know anything about remaining family in the locality. We always heard the women 'took the guns away in their skirts after the ambush' but never about whether the John Ryan on the monument is the same man, he would have been 27 years old. Theres one or two John Ryans in the Births Marriages, Deaths in this area, i havent got a copy of the Peter O Grady book,  but its such a common name, im not sure it would answer my John Ryan question either. Can anyone shed any light on the Ryans of Ballycohey? M
