William Ryan m.4/11/1841 to Bridget Ready. Mary b.11/11/1842, James b.5/12/1844, Patrick b.1/3/1847, William b.11/3/1849, Michael b.28/5/1850, Ellen b.6/3/1854...... Patrick I think is my gt-grandfather & William my gt-gt-grandfather. The family left Borrisoleigh, Tipperary, Ireland, sometime after the birth of Ellen. Patrick turned up in Bradford England to marry his 2nd wife Mary Davis in 1891. I'm looking to find his and his families wherabouts between 1854 & 1891

If the family were still in Ireland 1854-1891, you won't find them on censuses.

As you say that Patrick married his second wife in 1891 - Who was Patrick's first wife and where did they marry

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 3 Dec 2020 23:15

Same applies to William & Bridget's other children - the dates are all baptisms, so we don't know exactly when they were born.

The tree says he was born 1st April 1893, and "Abandoned by his mother and placed in a Catholic orphanage."


For Patrick & Mary's marriage it says,
"Marriage
26 Dec 1891 • Bradford, Yorkshire, England
Patrick Ryan (44) is a widower and a tailor. Mary (23) is a spinster and a tailoress. The witness is Robert Hardie, also a tailor in Bradford. Bradford is 62 miles from Mary's residence in Kendal. Patrick's address is # 28 King Charles St."


It says that before he married Mary Davis, he had been married to an Ann, and had several children, including these:

It says this is him in 1891 with daughters Maggie and Alice :

HOWEVER, in spite of his being aged 44 at marrriage, and c42 in 1891 census, the tree says he was born in 1833, and therefore that this is his death, aged 60

Deaths Jun 1896 (>99%)
Ryan Patrick 60 Bradford, Y. 9b 50

This is apparently him in 1861 with first wife:

The tree claims his father William (50, tailor, Ireland) is head of another household at the same address ( 3 Moor Street ) with wife and daughter - in which case that's not your Patrick unless William had married again:

Other trees seem equally mixed up.

I haven't looked at them all , but at least three say Patrick's parents were William Ryan and Sophie Hinds.
Others don't name his mother.

As usual, people have just copied from each other, regardless of whether or not the information is correct.
