I have been looking for this book for quite a while. It was published by Daniel Grace in 2000.

-- Mike Ryan

I wonder about something else as well.  In 1852, my g-grandfather was about 35 years old.  I would guess that he would have normally lived in his own cottage at that age.

Or is that wrong?  How likely was it that he lived with a family member, maybe his father or brother?

I'll attach a diagram I made of the residents of Cooneen from the 1846 House Book through the valuation update of 1893.

In Cooneen in Griffith's there are two John Ryans, and I believe his father's name was John.  There are two Michael Ryans listed, one nicknamed Michael Ryan (John) and I thought ah HA!  But this Michael continued occupying that dwelling long after my g-grandfather emigrated.  The other one I know was associated with another Ryan family, the "Ryan Rogers" of Cooneen, and I don't think we're directly related.

I can't see how either John was his father.  Maybe one was a brother.  There was also a Patrick Ryan who was likely close to his age, and I think he had a brother named Patrick.  Perhaps he lived with him, or with his other brother John?

Having Ryan from Tipperary myself thank you for your website
-- it might give me clues of where to go. A template of how to procede.

Do you know if a list exists of which priests were in which parishes
(particularly of Cashel and Emly Tipperary) in the early 1800s?
Some Australian immigration records give the name of the priest certifying baptism
 and therefore a list of priests might help to confirm which parish.
Such lists would be so useful to many researching Irish immigrants.

Immigration records also have the names of those providing character references
but tracing those people might prove more difficult.

I don't know of such a list although it would be very helpful.  For example, in one of the records I'm researching, the priest wrote about the husband that he was from "Mr. Corbet's parish".  I'd love to know where Mr. Corbett worked.

I found a civil death certificate for someone who died in 1874 in the townland of Cooneen, Co. Tipperary.

The registrar wrote the informant's name and underneath put this:

"Present at death.  Occupier deceased Cooneen".

But he had already recorded that the deceased man was from Cooneen, so why would he also make this indication under the informant's information?  I haven't seen that on other records.

Also, the deceased man was named James Corbett, but the informant was named John Ryan.  Since he was present at death, should I assume that he was closely related to James Corbett?  James was married but his wife's name is not recorded, and I guess I expected that she would have been the informant normally.

Thanks!
