Hi Fay

I'm wondering how accurate the birth years are as for Bridget to have 10 children after 1852 when born 1813 seems a late start.

The only record of the baptism of Bridget in Tipperary is 1835 in Tipperary on www.rootsireland.ie/

The parish is Nenagh RC.

I couldn't find the marriage on Victorian BDM to check the ages.

There are a couple of public member trees on ancestry.com that have Daniel's birth year - one has 1822 and the other 1824

There are 10 Daniel Ryans born 1823 + - 1 year in Cork on rootsireland - 1 in Rosscrea RC, 2 in Dunkerrin RC & 6 in Newport RC.

I don't know how to work out which one is yours unless the marriage record has one or both of his parents' names - but I can't find the marriage record!

Hi Fay

Thanks for your message

So when William was born in 1868 Daniel was 44 so he was born in 1824 and Bridget 39 so born in 1829.

There are 3 Daniel Ryans born 1824 - 1 in Rosscrea and 1 in Newport; I couldn't find the parish for the third.

There is 1 record of Bridget HARTNEDY in 1829 in Limerick

There are 8 other records of Bridget Hartnet 1829 + - 6 years: 2 in Cork, 5 in Limerick and the one I mentioned previously: 1835 in Tipperary.

On ancestry there is a public member tree which has Bridget's death record: (below) as 1887 aged 55 so born 1832 which is getting close to the 1835 Tipperary record. It says her parents were Robert Hartnet and Johanna Ryan but I could not find this record. The tree is owned by maracody66 - I could try to contact her on your behalf if you like.

http://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=AusDeathIndex&h=1117745&ti=5544&indiv=try&gss=pt&ssrc=pt_t57197599_p48019536090_kpidz0q3d48019536090z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgplz0q3dpid

The Tithe Applotments (1823-37 & free online) don't have any Hartnets in Tipperary.

Neither do Griffiths Valuation 1848-64.

The 1901 census has  only 1 in Tipperary - a ten-year old - and there are none on the 1911.

It looks like they all got out of Ireland!

I noticed another tree on ancestry which has a John Hartnett born 1821 in Clonmel Tipperary & died 1896 in Clifton Hill Vic. Could this be a cousin of Bridget's? Parents are Johnhartnet and Frances Legge.

Hi Fay,

I noticed that the owner of that tree hasn't logged on to ancestry for 6 months so the reply might be slow.

Here's another idea:

There are 4 Hartnets in the Irish phone book (free online).

Maybe if you wrote them a letter to the effect that you're trying to find Bridget's birthplace and want to visit it etc and include your contact details perhaps that will bring a result.
