James Ryan Tipperary 1830

Tipperary

I'm trying to find out more about my GG grandad James Ryan.  James first appears on English census in 1881 living in Glossop, Derbyshire.  It states he was born in 1830 in Tipperary, his wife Ellen from County Waterford and my G grandfather Samuel age 6 born in Tintwistle Derbyshire.  This census also lists a sister, Hannah Ryan age 20.  I'm stumped as to where in Tipperary, I don't know Ellen's maiden name or James' parents names so any additional information will be greatfully received.  Many thanks

Hello,

Ryan is one of the most popular names in Tipperary and is one of those names that is difficult to know which Ryan your talking about, even in a small area of a couple of square kilometres.

The fact his wife is born in Waterford at this time is more unusual but could be just after the famine - the reason they moved perhaps? However, where were they married?

Tipperary men sometimes moved because they had mining skills, western Tipp had small acale copper and silver mines? Glossop is close to the mineral mines or maybe the reason was the mills of the Pennines provided work.

I know this is not particular info but you might need more to go on, narrowing the birth date down might help, could you use later censuses to do that or a death certificate? Also, his wife's info the same. then there is a chance to get a better search. Ryan like Smith in England is difficult without some other anchoring fact?

I hope it gives some perspective anyway?
