Bridget Ryan, Moanmore, Tipperary, ca. 1841
Hello,
I am looking for information regarding the origins of my 3x great grandmother,Bridget Ryan, b. abt. 1841, per the 1901 & 1911 censuses. She married William Condon on 7 Feb 1863 in the parish of Emly. The address given on the marriage record is Monemore. Looking at the Griffith's Valuations for Monemore townland, I found both a John and a James Ryan. Assuming one of them was her father, I have narrowed down a few possible baptismal records:
Bridget Ryan, b. 13 Sep 1840, parents John Ryan and Mary Russell, Co, Tipperary, Address Not Recorded. Sponsors Edmond Dea and Ellen Ryan
Bridget Ryan, b. 5 May 1842, parents John Ryan and Mary Keefe, Co. Tipperary, Address Not Recorded. Sponsors Thady Ryan and Nora Keefe
Bridget Ryan, b. 9 Apr 1847, parents James Ryan and Bridget Moloney, Co. Tipperary, Address Not Recorded. Sponsors Patrick Ryan and Mary Barrett.
If anyone has knowledge of that particular area and those families, or if anyone has any advice on how to narrow down where my Bridget came from, I would be very grateful!
If it helps, sometime after her marriage, the family is found in Knocklong, Limerick, though Bridget's husband William seems to have come from Tipperary as well. At some point, it appears they returned to Tipperary, and William died in Carrick-on-Suir. After that, Bridget returned to live with one of her children in Knocklong, where she died at age 69. Her husband was a shoemaker, and Bridget's occupation after his death was given as Shopkeeper.
