Sue:

I was going thru some old messages and find your message with no local contact. I found these two records on Roots Ireland and thought I would share as a lead. Loughmore RC parish is just to the north of Templemore. The first couple also had a James.

Thanks for that information it is certainly another lead to follow.    I have since found out that the James Ryan/Mary Burke is no connection to my James Ryan.   Have recently done an Ancestry DNA test but have not found any connections so far from that.   I certainly believe that my gggrandfather John Ryan was not an only child so somewhere out there is the world is a relative I just would love to find them.   I believe that John was born in the late 1700s as his death certificate states he was 95 years old when he died in 1892.    I also acknowledge that there could be a couple of years discrepancy there so will try and track down  the birth for 1799.

I have also tried from the Irish Naming System to see if I could work out who his parents were but not to sure that it works with this Ryan family.     Certainly when they arrived in Australia it seemed to be all over the place.

Thanks again for the lead

Will let you know how things go
