My father's maternal grandfather was William Ryan.  Most likely born in Thurles Co Tipp in about 1847, and died in Ballyculleen, Bangoue, Croom Limerick.  He married Catherine (Maher born 1852 in Croom) July 16, 1882 in Banogue. Together they had a family of 7 children.  William (1881) Jacka (1883), Nellie (1885) Nora (1887) James (1889) Mary (1891) and Catherine (1895) all in Croom.

I am desperately laser focused on confirmation the information of the parents William and Catherine Ryan.  I think William's parents were from Thurles Co Tipperary, but not certain.

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
