Hi, John Rice (Ryce), married Bridget Cosgrove. Both were from County Cavan, and lived in Glasgow in 1871. Their parents were Johnston Rice, farmer,and Betsy Goldrick, and, Michael Cosgrove and Mary Madden respectively. Several of their descendants emigrated to Canada, and their son James Robert Ryce married Margaret Smith in 1910 near Edinburgh. Any help of any sort would be very welcome. Many thanks.

As " Johnson " is an unusual irish christian name . . I started my search there . .
" Ancestry.Com " . . throws up the following . . .
