William Timothy Ryan married Mary Fitzgerald (both of Fethard)and moved to NYC, where he was a baker.Family story is that he was told of a Queen's warrant against him and so he departed quickly from Fethard via back roads to Queenstown, where he was put on a "potato boat" to New York with the help of rebels.His wife reportedly followed about six months later.Each member of this couple was born about 1870.They had a daughter named Margaret Mary Ryan who was born in NYC on 19 Oct 1890.She married Joseph Alphonsus Noe (B 12 July 1883).Please contact [email protected] if you know anything about this line from Fethard.
