Hi Ella:
You should research the censuses to get an estimated DOB for Patrick. This would help a lot. Also, naturalization papers SOMETIMES give a county or placename. This would help more. Also, B/M/D registration was civil in most states after 1900. The D rcds often show a DOB and origin. Church M/D rcds also frequently rcd'd parents' names, etc.
The port of entry would likely be either Boston, or New York. Google "castlegarden" or ISTG to find databases of immigration rcds.
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
For Pat(rick) Ryan B 1854 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 391 rcds - far too many to summarize here.
For Mary Ryan B ditto, I found 582 rcds - again too many.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
