Ryan of Cumberland

[wmcarl]

I have information that my grandfather, James Ryan, was born on July 31, 1885 in Cumberland, England. It is possible his parents were William Ryan and Bridget Mulhall. I would appreciate any information on this family.

I have information that my grandfather, James Ryan, was born on July 31, 1885 in Cumberland, England. It is possible his parents were William Ryan and Bridget Mulhall. I would appreciate any information on this family.I have located this family on the 1891 census but James's age is a little off. According to the information you have, he should be 5 years of age at the time of the census but he's listed as being 8. The RYANs are living in Arlecdon, Cumberland at 16 Moor Street in a 4 room dwelling:

Name / Age in 1891 / Birthplace / Relationship to head-of-house / Occupation
Ryan, William 40 Cumberland Head Iron Ore Miner

Ryan, James 8 Cumberland Son
Ryan, Mary A 6/12 Cumberland Daughter
Robson, Elizabeth 55 Wicklow, Ireland Boarder [Widow]

Hope this helps. You should be able to locate them on the 1901 census as well.
