I can't explain the 3 Johns as I checked for death records but there are none that match. Transcription error perhaps - could one be her sister Mary?
The Irish Censuses are free online at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/. There are 316 Ruanes in Galway in the 1901 & 344 in 1911 - you might want to look for Pat & John(s) to see if they married and had families
