Hello Ryan researchers
I was so excited to read your chat! I had "lost" John Andrew ;DRYAN from NZ but now have "found" him through your messages. He was born in Bendigo, emigrated to Otago NZ early to mid 1860s and at some time returned to Victoria. I wonder if his mother, Bridget Theresa RYAN (nee HENNESSY) and sister, Catherine Eleanor RYAN, also moved to Victoria?
His father, Edward (sometimes recorded as Edmond) Gubbins RYAN, died in Dunedin in 1884. He and Bridget married in Bendigo in 1857. Edward was born c1832 in Ireland.
Did John Andrew and Honora have only the three sons?
Does anyone know anything of Bridget and/or Catherine?
Thank you!
