In Reply to: James Ryan 1870's Cashel to Cleveland by Timothy Ryan of 5724

Hello Timothy:

Cashel is both a town name in Co. Tipperary and a parish name in Co. Longford. I'm not sure which one is correct in your case, but the Tipperary location may be the correct one.

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 James Ryan B 1850 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Tipperary with the father's forename unknown, I found 72 rcds - far too many to list here. Suggest you search naturalization and census rcds to find a more precise DOB and perhaps placename(s).

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.
