Thank you so much for the reply.  I have membership in Ancestry.com and root.ie so I was able to locate the information you had sent.  I was wondering if there are any other research areas I should look at- I've looked at the the census and Griffiths....wanted to see if someoe on the boards knew the family or if there was a way to find any information concerning their possible emmigration to america

Best regards,

DArleen

Darleen:

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing which will identify matches on both your paternal and maternal lines. You may find someone who matches your Ryan/Henson line and has more info on the family.

Roger

Thank you...I will do that

Darleen

Ancestry offers that | believe

Dee:

Also Family Tree DNA.

Thank you Tricia

I see that- right town allright.  William Henson Catherine's father's dad married Bridget Feeny I think in 1838 9th July in Athlone. cert says he was from IslandBoy.  I believe I find Bridget Feeney born 6 Aug 1814 in Athlone to a William Feeny & CAth. Gibbons Athlone.

Can't locate much on roots.ie bout John ryan that tithe source helpful thanks

Dee

Hi Dee - Michael Henson in Tithe Applotment for Island Boy.  Islandboy is from Irish Oilean Bui, yellow island.  It is close to the river Shannon and so named because its land is liable to flood, when the flood subsided yellow or golden flowers grew. (There is also a Golden Island closeby)

Hi Dee, found a baptism for a Mary Rayn, 8th October, 1813, Address Bonnavalley, Parish: Athlone, Co. Westmeath.  Father John Ryan, Mother Elizabeth Henson.  I presume the father is the John Ryan showing up in the Tithe Applotment for Bonnavalley.. Regards, Tricia
