I am trying to research my irish roots from England, as most people appreciate it is very difficult when you dont know the areas.

This is what I know:-

Violet Esther O'Sullivan marries Arthur Edward Ryan in Stretford near Manchester in 1929 both born Ireland.

Arthurs father is Michael Ryan ,Club steward (as on marriage certificate)

My grandmother used to visit her Irish relatives during the school holidays as a child, unfortunately she doesnt remember much. What she does remember is...
1) Michael worked in a snooker hall (maybe he was a steward there)

2)They used to go on visits to salthill in a pony and trap so we reckon that they must have lived close to Salthill.

3) Michael remarried and had more children.

4) He was still alive in 1929 (marriage certificate)

I would appreciate any help given!

I will put a separate post for the O'sullivans.

As I dont know the area, I was hoping someone out there may have conections who may know of a snooker hall around the 1920s and earlier in the vicinity.
