I AM SO HAPPY

Thank you to everyone, Guess what, Ive just found him!!!
I went onto the Armed forces board and started to read other posts. one of which was titled royal artillery records, on one of the replies someone had said that Find my past had released some army records.. as I had a few credits left I thought i would have a look and BINGO out of 4 records for 'William Ryan' I found my great grandfather's records.. Must be the luck of the Irish

I know its definitely him as it shows his wife as Elizabeth Paul (who was my great grandmother) and their marriage on Jersey.
So now i know he came from Scariff and hopefully I will be able to find out more about my Irish ancestry.
A huge thank you to everyone
and it just goes to show that you should never give up!
kind regards
Sarah
