I tried :-
Starting with the Ringlands. I can only offer two reference for Ringland family trees, in the Blackwood Family History manuscript trees Collection in the LinenHall library, Belfast. Visit if you can, give them warning helps, if you cant then I suggest you write to them asking them for photocopying estimates only if they think your knowledge relevant and be prepared to pay the extra for post and packing if you are tempted.  “The Library welcomes all research enquiries, whether made in person, by phone, fax, letter or e-mail.

Hoping this is includes new information for you it should be more than 4 often 8 including sometimes notes However if the material is really relevant when you get it, I suggest a further donation to this unique library that is always needing extra funds.

It has Michael Singers message ‘My family "Singer" comes from Ballyward, Co Down, the centre of Irish immigration for the singer family. There is a "Singer mountain" about 15 miles from Ballyward. James and William are popular names in the family. The family were involved in farming and flax growing for linen. The family home is "Island House".
I have not got all the dates sorted, my earliest record is for James Singer, who married twice, once to a lady maiden name Truesdal, once to a (reputedly) Dutch lady. He had three sons, James Walter, Robert, and William Hans (my grandfather, the Hans possibly from his mother's side). James Walter's first child was born 1897’

Familysearch.org has Hans S Ringland b 1864 and James S Ringland b1885, both b Ireland
