Place of migration

Migrated to/Born in UK

I also know that Henry and his brother John attended the Fermanagh Charter School, (ie charity school), Henry was sponsored by the Venerable Archdeacon Russell, (who I think was from Limerick), his brother by the Bishop of Derry. They were listed as coming from 'Ardbraccan', a place in County Meath, so I assume the family had moved there by the late 1850s.

His family home in Wimbledon, Surrey, was also called 'Ardbraccan'.

In one UK census, he gives his place of birth as Queen's County, and in another as King's County.

My Grandfather Jeremiah Ryan and his wife Teresa Roe lived in Coolderry. Jeremiah was born in Shinrone to Thomas and Anne Dunne who married Jan 29, 1876. Thomas has birth year of 1846. Thomas's father was James Ryan and Anne's Dunnes, father William Dunne. This is where I am stuck I need James Ryan's wife's name. I have DNA test A960797 but can not connect to the wife. I have a cousin surnamed Burns I think claims my Thomas was the son of James Ryan Bridget Burns. When I looked at the record there is a Thomas but a lot of the children's names are not in my Ryans family. We have no Bridgets in the Ryans from that period of history. Bridget is in the Roe family which came after the birth of Thomas.

I have tried severalname to no avail. My Grandparents married in Dublin, Greatgrand in Aghocon . I think I found Willliam Dunne's wife as Margarget ut the James Ryan who would of been born around 1825 or prior is a mystery. Thanks if anyone can help. Mary Martin.
