RYAN Family History

Ó Maoilriain - 'descendant of the follower of Rian', anglicised in later times as Ryan.

Ó Riain - 'descendant of Rian', anglicised as Ryan.

Ó Ruadháin - 'descendant of Ruadhán, from the epithet 'red', more often anglicised as Ruane, though sometimes as Royan and Ryan.

The first of these surnames although inhabiteding their Munster homelands from early times, were originally a Leinster sept, according to Fr Woulfe in 'Sloinnte Gaedheal is Gall' 1923). In the 13th and 14th centuries they moved to the baronies of Owney and Owney Beg in Tipperary and Limerick. The name Ryan is still most numerous in Co Tipperary.

The second surname is that of a sept in Co Carlow, who were lords of Uí Dróna (Idrone), before spreading in later times throughout eastern Ireland.

The third surname comes from two septs in Connacht, in Mayo and Galway. The usual anglicisation is Ruane, but the name is sometimes disguised, according to Fr Woulfe, as Ryan.

The name occurs as a 'Principal Irish Name' in Petty's 1659 'Census' of Ireland, in the above counties, more often as Mulryane etc in Tipperary and Limerick. The same is true of the 1664 'Hearth Money Rolls' (ed. Laffan) for Co Tipperary, where the name in this form is numerous.

By the time of Griffith's 'Primary Valuation' of Irish households between 1848 and 1860, Ryan is most found in counties Tipperary (4090) Limerick (1263) Kilkenny (616) and Cork (416)

Two Famous Ryans:
William Patrick Ryan (1867-1942) born in Tipperary, was an author and journalist; founder of the socialist newspapers 'Peasant' and 'Irish Nation'.
Francis Thomas Ryan (1862-1927) a member of the US Navy, who received the Medal of Honour for bravery during the Boxer Rebellion

    My x 3 great grandfather was James Michael Ryan, born in Galway, Ireland abt 1819 (unsure of whether his birthplace is correct). He must have immigrated to Australia at some stage if he was born in Ireland (perhaps with parents). His father was Michael Ryan born abt 1797 in Ireland. His mother is believed to be Honora Shaulsy / Shanley / Brien (in some connected records) birthdate unknown. He married Sarah Ann Kennedy in Australia and then moved to Timaru New Zealand where he drowned in Saltwater Creek in 1867. I am unable to go back any further and would love to make some family connections and get more information about our ancestors, please contact Debi - debij.18@gmail.com

    My 2x Great-grandfather. James A. Ryan was born in Thornback, Kilkenny, Ireland 9 Sep 1832 and died in Piatt Co., IL, USA 29 Dec 1900. He had a sister, Agnes, who died a spinster in Troyswood, Kilkenny, Ireland 05 Oct 1907. I am trying to find if he had other siblings. I believe his parents to have been William and Bridget Kirwick Ryan who both died in Ireland, but I am not positive where.

    Jenny Miller - my great-grandfather Patrick Ryan and great-grandmother Bridget Treacy came from Borrisoleigh, and also emigrated to Queensland in ~1880. They got off the boat in Townsville, and spent their lives in Charters Towers. Perhaps we are related - Borrisoleigh is not a huge town!!

    Looking for any connections to my greatgrandmother Mary/Marie Louise Ryan, born 12/27/1876. May have had a brother George William Ryan. Defiantly married to Dudley Edmonds Worth in NY in 1905. May have been born in Staten Island, NY, USA but honestly it is all secrecy. We were told that her mother died when she was 4 (apx 1880) and no mention of father. But my Irish dna points first to Cork, so perhaps her parents were from there. Any help appreciated.

    Hello Gail Ryan, you wrote this to a Jenny Miller (no dates). "My great-grandfather Patrick Ryan and great-grandmother Bridget Treacy came from Borrisoleigh, and also emigrated to Queensland in ~1880. They got off the boat in Townsville, and spent their lives in Charters Towers. Perhaps we are related - Borrisoleigh is not a huge town!! My name is Cherilyn, my maiden name Cherilyn Ryan. My great-grandfather (Michael Ryan) was the twin brother of Patrick Ryan, your g-grandfather. My g-grandfather's name was Thomas Ryan and he married Anne Russell in June 1899 (or it may be 1880 - hard to tell), in Borrisoleigh, Tipperary. The town seems to be spelt differently sometimes - Borrisleigh. Sometime after that date in 1899/ 1880, the twin brothers, Thomas and Patrick, came to Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. I know my grandfather's side of the family, i.e. his parents Thomas and Anne Ryan, lived on a cattle property/ station at Calcium/ Reid River/ Toonpan/ Woodstock area - all tiny little places, more like localities really. My grandfather, and in turn my father were both born at Calcium. Woodstock is the largest village and does have a tiny school, but not even a pub! Those areas are not too far south of Townsville (now a city of 150,000 or so). Some of the Ryan's still live on that original property - there are four houses of Ryan's still remaining there. Personally, I don't know them. On my grandfather's (Michael Ryan's) birth certificate, his father Thomas Ryan's occupation is listed as lime-burner. I can't find anything that may relate to Thomas and Patrick's parents or siblings though, those who remained in Ireland, or Thomas and Patrick's dates of birth. I also can't find the date they emigrated to Australia. I was wondering if you had any information on them at all? Perhaps a photo of Thomas and Patrick together, I wonder if they were identical twins. Your g-grandparents, as far as I can tell, lived in and around Townsville all their lives, Charters Towers is quite a bit further away, well in those days of horse and cart anyway - 137km away. Gold was found in Charters Towers at one stage and perhaps they went off to the gold fields for a time. On your side of the family - I have a small "The Ryans - Family History" booklet regarding the offspring of Patrick and Bridget, formerly Tracy (spelt that way in the booklet). They had 9 children, and this particular booklet, it says, was "compiled for the Ryan Family Reunion, 27th September 1997". One of my father's aunts must have given it to me, and some of them must have kept in contact with their cousins - your side of the family. This booklet then goes on to name and give commentary on Patrick and Bridget's third born (May 1885 in Townsville), their son Thomas Patrick Ryan, who married an Alice Isabell MacDonald. It appears they had 12 children!! Your g-grandfather Patrick's occupation was listed as labourer when his son Thomas Patrick was born, according to the booklet. There are two photos in the booklet of your g-grandfather Patrick Ryan and his wife Bridget Ryan, no date on the photo though. There is also another photo of your grandfather (4 generations it says), dated 1939. Anyway, I was wondering if you could help me with any more history of on g-grandfather Thomas Ryan and his twin brother Patrick Ryan. As an aside, lime was found on that property at Calcium, also a large cattle station, and it was called the Ryan Lime Company. To this day, lime is still quarried there, but no longer owned by the Ryan's. The quarrying operation was sold decades ago and my grandfather and grandmother (Michael and Eileen Ryan) moved to Brisbane in the 1940's and built a number of shops and a small supermarket (there were no large ones back in the day) in an inner suburb of Brisbane (Queensland's capital). I have also travelled to Ireland in 1979 (and again in 2019, 40 years later). My boyfriend and I, now husband, went to see my grandfather's cousin in 1979, we were with an Irish mate in Nenagh, Tipperary (my boyfriend worked with him in London), whose mother knew my grandfather's cousin - a small world. They had a lovely home on a farm, a quite large double story house - sadly, I can't remember their names, but they lived quite close to Nenagh, where our mate came from. Anyway, this thread doesn't seem to have any dates or years on it, so hopefully I'm not writing this and it goes off into the never, never! Cheers.

    Ryan

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Ryan William Henry Ryan 1860-1939 (son of my family's original emigrants Patrick Ryan, Tipperary and Margaret Brennan, unconfirmed) making William H. a first generation immigrant who served as a US Congressman for two terms 1901-1908, coinciding with the years during which Theodore Roosevelt was President of the US. He personally hosted the Native American Chief Geronimo during his visit to the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901. [WHR is my father's great uncle and namesake and my father is one of the last living link to have known him. We have not been able to confirm the townlands of Patrick and Margaret. It has been a very stubborn brick wall. Any assistance/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! MRF]

    Don Ryan

    My great grandfather Michael Ryan Raymond, was married to two Margaret Ryans (Moneen and Sean Eamon), with a total of seventeen children, the offspring of which includes large conclaves in Australia and USA. His grand father was also Michael Ryan (1764) married to Johanna Kilfoyle. They hailed from Foilnacanna in Upperchurch, but my g. grandfather moved to Glenough, and we still have a strong presence on the old ancestral lands. You can view the school attended by our family since it was established in 1856 by visiting Glenough Schoolhouse on Facebook. Regards, Don Ryan .

Emigrated to Australia with his mother Margaret D'Arcy in 1856, married Martha Manson in Victoria Australia in 1861 and he and his family emigrated to New Zealand.

    Am an only child with little facts re my great grandparents. Patrick Ryan was killed in a railroad accident in Youngstown, Ohio in 1892. He left his wife, Ellen Muldowney from Kilkenny, per her obituary, and 3 almost adult grown children. John Patrick is my Great Grandfather and then Edward M and Mary. John P died in 1919, leaving my Grandma, Anna McVey, with 3 children under 6. John, William Grant and Mary. Dad is William (1912-1991). Any help would be appreciated. Some day, I hope to see photos.

    (Part 1 of 3) The Ryan name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the south-west region of the Emerald Island. The Ryan story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup O2] can trace their beginnings to what is now County Kerry from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Ryan surname origin is possibly a branch of what will become the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who are found in south Ireland around 300 CE.

    (Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Dáirine will join with the Dál Riata of north-east Ireland and invade Scotland around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Ryan story begins in pre-history Ireland but many of his descendants will then move to Kintyre, Scotland where they and other R1b-L513 members will form the Dalriada. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.
