Are you still researching your Bryan family Eric?

In terms of Irish origins I don't have any more information than you, but I do have a GGGG grandmother Ellen Bryan who married Nicholas Gregson at St Peter's in Liverpool in 1792. They were living in Moorfields when they married and Maguire Street in the Vauxhall area of Liverpool when their first child was born.
Ellen died aged around 50 in 1821, so would have been a contemporary of your William Bryan, although it's a common name so there might not be a connection.
Even though they were married at St Peter's they may have been Catholic - the children of some of my other relatives who married there, or at St Nick's, were baptised Catholic.

Thanks for the reply Julie
I didnt realise Catholics were married at St Peter,
I will look up what info I have on my Bryans, it was a few years back now
I went to the library and looked at BMD for St Peters
I tried to write down all the Bryans I could find which I thought were relevant  to mine
so if I have her on my tree I will get back to you on that
Moorfields you say, is that on the site of where the Train station now stands on the edge of the City Centre, which is very close to Vauxhall area

Yes - think that's where Moorfields was. Very central.
Nicholas Gregson, the man Ellen Bryan married, was a bricklayer and they had 12 or 13 children, that I know of, but most died as babies.

2. 1824-1837  The Tithe Applotment Books for the 26 counties are indexed and on line in quantity the breakdown is 1717 Bryan, 57 Bryans, 37 McBryan, 15 O’Bryan etc  However finding the ones located in the Northern Ireland is a nightmare, thankfully the irishgenealogyhub  do an attempt, they are on line by county then by parish so Co Antrim , Aghagallon civil parish is http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/antrim/tithe-applotments/aghagallon-parish.php#.V27Z0leoc5Q

3. Griffiths Valuation Using the quick index http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php you can search by Name and Province, so if you wanted the Ulster then a list is produced sometimes including spelling variants, the 122 quantity modest compared to the other provinces
21   Antrim   Bryan, Bryans+ 1 O'Bryan
