Hi Sharon,
I'm trying to trace the movements of my grandfather's family.
My great grandfather, John Ryan was a station master and because of his job the family moved around a lot. I've been able to verify that they lived in Bruree, Co. Limerick and Emly, Co. Tipperary and now I've just discovered that they may also have been living in Kilmallock at the time of the 1901 Census.
I've been able to discover that the Railway Station in Kilmallock is situated in the townland of Gortboy so I think that's the first place you need to look in your search.
The Ryan family consisted of :
Father: John Ryan (station master)
Mother:Bridget Ryan
Sons: Michael, Thomas(my grandfather), Edmond, John, James
Daughters: Anne, Mary
I'd be very grateful if you could also supply me with their places of birth.
Thanks,
Orla
