Hi Liz
This is a shot in the dark but I am despertely looking for any South Afican links to the Ryan family.
My g.grandmother was Catherine Amelia Ryan, born in the Cape Colony about 1862.I have been unable to trace her parents or other family.I know she had a sister Bessie (Elizabeth?) and possibly a brother John who may have been in the second anglo-boer war. Catherine married a Stanley Williams and they had two daughters.They lived in Kimberley, Cape Province, S.Africa.
Does the above info fit into your search in anyway?Perhaps they were related somehow.If you find any connection please let me know.I have even searched the parish records and other old Kimberley records but alas no trace of any of them, not even birth records of my granny whom I KNOW was born and raised there till age 7.
Let me know.Good luck in your search.I will also look out for your Thomas Ryan.
