Tim Ryan,
Timothy.
His family was called the Ryan "Tim" family.
He was a
farmer in Newross, Kilnarath par,
NE of Newport, Co.Tipperary.
There was speculation that he was linked to Ryan of Mount Prospect.
But no solid evidence.
He
mar pre-1814 to Margaret Hourigan
[also written as "Peggy" in Newport RC par records].
She was possibly of near Doonane, NE of Newport, Co.Tipperary. She was meant to be related to Hourigan of Ahane, near Newport. Note there is a Ballyhourigan townland and Ballyhourigan Wood, N of Doonane, Killoscully par, Co.Tipperary (see old map). |
Tim and Margaret were
in Newross since at least 1814, all children born Newross, bapt Catholic in [Newport RC par records].
He is
listed as farmer, Newross, at childrens' bapts 1814 to 1823.
"Tim Ryan" and "Margaret Hourigan" sp the bapt of the son of
William Ryan of Newross
in 1816.
Tim must be him.
Margaret looks like her, except why use maiden name?
"Tim Ryan" is listed at Newross in
[Tithe Survey, 1827].
He
holds 76 acres, the largest plot in the townland.
Tim is
listed at Newross at dau's bapt 1828.
He probably died before 1835.
[Census, 1835]
shows only "William Ryan (Timothy)" in Newross
(see William Ryan of Newross).
Note Tim's son would be age only 15.
Tim must have died before 1848.
[Griffiths Valuation, 1848]
shows his son
Mickey Tim Ryan
holding
Newross.
Tim and Margaret
had issue:
Fred Faulkner also lists daughters:
Newross on
1829 to 1842 map.
Ahane townland to S.
Castlewaller townland to E.
Claims of link to Ryan of Ballymackeogh or Ryan of Mount Prospect are unproven:
William is probably just Catholic Ryan of Newross:
William's family is as follows:
William Ryan,
of Ryan "Tim" family,
probably brother of Tim Ryan.
He mar pre-1814 to Bridget Ryan [Biddy,
par records show her maiden name was Ryan].
He is
listed as farmer, Newross, at children's baptisms 1814-16.
"William Ryan" is listed at Newross in
[Tithe Survey, 1827].
He
holds 52 acres, the 2nd largest plot in the townland.
[Census, 1835]
shows "William Ryan (Timothy)" as sole occupant of Newross.
He is listed as Catholic.
It seems Tim Ryan of Newross died early
and his son Mickey Tim Ryan
was not yet old enough to take over.
William is NOT listed at Newross in the printed copies of
[Griffiths Valuation, 1848-50].
Only
Mickey Tim Ryan
is listed.
However, Fred Faulkner says he found "William Ryan (Tim)" and "Michael Ryan (Tim)" listed in "The Rateable Valuation lists of 1850". (todo) Identify this. Mickey Tim Ryan (William's probable nephew) was evicted from Newross apparently 1850 and moved to nearby Ahane (Cully). Eviction of 1854: Fred Faulkner thinks William was the last Ryan in Newross, and was evicted by the landlord Bolton Waller apparently in 1854. Fred Faulkner found a pencil entry added to "The Rateable Valuation lists of 1850", saying: "4.00 a.m. March 1854 - Bolton". This ties in with a story that the Ryans were evicted in the middle of the night. |
It is thought that after William
was evicted in 1854, he went to join (his probable nephew)
Mickey Tim Ryan
who was already living
at Ahane/Cully.
