I have a Robert Ryan (born abt 1831)  who married Ellen Butler (born abt 1829). They married in Devon in 1855.  They were both born in Tipperary.

Robert Ryan father was:  Anthony Ryan who was a Master Shoemaker.

If anyone can help/or advise me on how to find more information on exactly where they were born, I would be grateful.

  • Dear  chelsea

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I had a look on rootsireland but there doesn?t seem to be a baptism record for Robert. This could mean that he was born in a parish and at a time that predates the parish records. You could have a look at this site (or familysearch.org) to see how many (if any) children were born to a father named Anthony in Ireland or more specifically in Tipperary. 

    Also available online is Slater?s Directory 1846 that you could check for shoemakers/cobblers:

  • Hi Clare

    Thanks for your message.   I tried the site you said for Slater`s Directory 1846 but it seems its not available.   Is there anywhere else I can look for this directory?

    I tried it a few days ago and it was working ok and then last night a message to say it was unavailable. (Just tried again now and it's working again!):
