Notes – I am having trouble finding facts on John Ryan. The council records state he died on February 26, 1940, aged 65. He died as you will see from the article below, from drowning.

Looks like the Police had a tough time recovering the body back to tara – read here.

In 1936 & 1937 John was at Hannaford with his wife Catherine. They had one son that I have found, being William Dennis. There could have been more children but this is unconfirmed at this time.

John Ryan has no headstone.
