Assistance Please: William H Ryan's Father and Mother

Question

Good afternoon, 

I am having and issue locating William H Ryan parents:

I know Williams father was born in Ireland and his Mother was born in New York.  William was born in New York, spent his adult life in Brooklyn New York

William married Delia (Adelia) Meagher aka Maher in 1879-1881 Delia's parents are John Meagher and Ann Dalton John Meagher Ann Dalton and Delia Meagher were born in Tipperary Ireland.  

William worked for his brother in law Michael Meagher as a bartender or Barkeeper.  

William and Delia had 6 known children:

• William V Ryan

• Albert E Ryan

• Annie Ryan

• Joseph Ryan

• John Ryan

•  Henry Ryan

I am having a Ryan reunion in July 2018 and would love to pass on this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you in advance

Julia

I haven’t found any answers. I did find the family in the 1892 census 

New York State Census, 1892," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQ3N-RQS : 6 November 2014), Delia Ryan, 1892; citing Brooklyn, Ward 10, E.D. 14, county offices, New York; FHL microfilm 1,930,231.

And a newspaper clipping attached to your William Henry Ryan on an Ancestry family tree

Hi Kay

Sorry to take so long to answer I work retail and this time of year is so crazy!  I have all of William and Delia's Census 1892, 1900, 1905, 1910 then the 1915 census Delia Ryan child  John H and Albert with Albert's wife Irene and grandchild James no William Henry her husband.  

Children are

• William V Ryan 1882–1951

•  Albert E Ryan 1884–1959

• Annie Ryan 1887–

• Joseph Ryan 1888–

• John Henry Ryan 1895–1978

In 1910 they were living at 291 Fifth Avenue, the 1915 census still had them at 291 Fifth Avenue so I believe William died between 1910 and 1915.  

Also found a family living at 290 Fifth Avenue in 1920 Charles W Ryan wife Mary F 

Children are 
Irene M.
Charles W
William J
James 

1920: 290 Fifth Avenue https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/6061/4313507-00535?pid=95014728&backurl=https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db%3D1920usfedcen%26h%3D95014728%26indiv%3Dtry%26o_vc%3DRecord:OtherRecord%26rhSource%3D2703&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true

I can not figure out the connection.

Hello Mr Gill,

Thank you, I did see this census but discounted it as all William H Ryan census except one had his mother born in New York.  Your thoughts on this?   

 

It does make a lot of sense as the Meaghers were closely related to the Lynch's . But I do not think William would change his career from an engineer to a bartender
