Looking for possible O'Neill connections of my own in Tipperary I came across your mail looking for Richard O'Neill & Catherine Ryan. The names rang a bell as Richard is not a common name in Ireland so I looked in my own records as I photographed some records from Thurles which is where my O'Neills are from, and I found the following which may be of interest to you:
John Neill Baptised to Richard Neill & Catherine Ryan 19 June 1868 sponsors James Ryan & Cath sweeney
Patrick Neill bap to Richard Neill & Catherine Ryan 25 November 1870 sp Patrick Mc Guire & Bridget Sweeney
Margaret Neill bap to Richard Neill & Catherine Ryan 21 July 1873 sp Bridget Sweeney & John Neill
Thomas Neill bap to Richard Neill & Catherine Ryan 1 March 1876 sp Edmund Purcell & Joanne Sweeney
Bridget Neill bap to Richad Neill & Catherine Ryan 14 February 1879 sp James Sweeney & Mary Fogarty
There is no baptism for Richard Neill in Thurles which suggests they have come in from somewhere else. There are no more baptisms in Thurles after 1879.
I could not find a marriage in Thurles for this couple amongst my writings. Sadly I can find no connection with Richard to my own O'Neill family.
It is not quite the dates you have but near enough and Jack relates to John so I hope this may be of some use to you.
