Trying to locate mystery Bridget Ryan- Carr in Tipperary and US.
Catherine Ryan ,Refadda, Tipperary , third great grandmother had a female sibling, possibly Bridget Ryan that married a Carr and emigrated with her sister, Catherine, husband John Ryan ( Tobacco) and three children, Patrick, Mary and Jeremiah to the US just prior to the Famine. I have a great paper trail of Catherine Ryan and family, minus husband, in Galena, Illinois in 1850 Census and later to nearby Benton, Wisconsin.. Found a Bridget Carr and John Carr in 1844 ship manifest in New Orleans. I have strong Carr DNA matches. Parents of Catherine Ryan were Margaret Kinane from Upper Church married to Patrick Ryan, Glenpadden. Margaret Kinane Ryan died in 1861 in Borrisoleigh. I have a lot of information on Catherine’s other siblings and their descendants. Catherine Ryan’s grandparent’s were Peter Kinane 1748-1804, I have a tombstone picture in Glenkeen Cemetery married to Kitty Ryan. Thanks.
