Upperchurch Cemetery Ryan Connections Revised: February 27, 2018

This paper combines and expands on two papers that were published on this site in 2006. It all began when another Central New Yorker with Ryan and Upperchurch connections made a trip to Ireland.

“On January 3, 2006, I (Beverly Jean Muncy Bouthiller) visited the cemetery in Upperchurch village, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. While there, I photographed and made notes of several headstone inscriptions, focusing mainly on those for Ryan that had old dates. Although these may or may not be pertinent to my ancestors, I thought it would help other Ryan researchers too. I tried to be as accurate as possible. Bearing that in mind, the following is the information I recorded that day.”

Jeanie’s pictures are at this link: http://mcgrathsearch.com/Jeanie's%20Pics.htm. Her headstone inscriptions are found at the following link: http://mcgrathsearch.com/files/Upperchurch%20Cem%20Inscriptions.pdf When there was enough information in the inscriptions I created family trees for the persons found in the headstone inscriptions: http://mcgrathsearch.com/files/Upperchurch_Cem_Families.pdf

The ready availability of the church records in the Parish Registers (http://registers.nli.ie/) has allowed some of these family trees to be expanded even further. That expansion is the purpose of this paper and to make it more comprehensive the pictures, transcribed inscriptions and the family trees based on those inscriptions are gathered together in one place. These early family trees are expanded with the new information from the parish registers and sometimes with additional information. Except where noted the pictures and all the inscriptions in this paper were taken or transcribed by Beverly Jean Muncy Bouthiller.

Information from Photo IMPG#0303 and additional research done by Con Ryan (Connie) and Michael Quinlan of Glown, Upperchurch

Anne Hayes was originally married to Laurence Ryan = ?? Jeremiah Ryan of Glown who died on May 27, 1791 – June 12, 1867 1860. Jeremiah “Jerry” Ryan is buried in one half of a double plot in the Upperchurch Cemetery Edmond Ryan = Anne Hayes (Gortnahalla, (Gortahoola, Moyaliff) Upperchurch) m. June 22, 1860 Not Here Witnesses: Laurence Ryan and Mary Kennedy Not Here

Laurence Ryan = Johanna Ryan Bap. May 9, 1863 1868 – May 4, 1896 Sp.: John Kennedy & Margaret Ryan d. October 2, 1935

Margaret Ryan This monument was erected by 1893 – March 14, 1938 Edmond Ryan in honor of his father Laurence Ryan. I believe that Edmond and Anne are buried in a Rody Ryan = Mary Ryan different plot in the same cemetery. (Knockmaroe) 1904 – Feb. 13, 1991 1887 – Dec. 20, 1959 The gravestone inscription didn’t say that the younger Laurence was Jonie Ryan the son of Edmond and Anne. That 1941 – Nov. 16, 1946 connection came from the Ryan and Quinlan research. Bridget Mary Ryan Baby d. Nov. 27, 1943

At the marriage ceremony of Edmond Ryan and Anne Hayes were witnesses Laurence Ryan and Mary Kennedy. One is tempted to think that Laurence might be Edmond’s father and if that is the case the female witness might be Laurence’s wife who would be recorded under her maiden name. Therefore Edmond Ryan’s mother might have been Mary Kennedy.

In the 1829 Upperchurch Tithes there is only one Lawrence Ryan in the civil parish of Knockcurraghbola which might have been where the family was living at the time. In the later 1837 Moyaliff Tithes, in the adjacent parish to the south, there were no Lawrence Ryans.

Anne Hayes previously married Jeremiah Ryan of Glown on February 22, 1846 with witnesses John Costello and Catherine Hayes. They had at least four children between 1849 and 1856. According to Con Ryan (Connie) of Glown, Jerry, as he was called, was digging around his cottage in the process of making some improvements when he discovered a mineral. This cottage is located next door to Con’s present home and was the cottage where Con himself was born and raised. At that time there was a superstition that if a person discovered a mineral while digging then they were not going to live very much longer. Jerry died shortly thereafter on May 27, 1860 and his wife Anne remarried on June 22, 1860. This wasn’t even a month later – one wonders if perhaps there is more to this story.

In 1844 my gg-grandmother Mary Ryan, her husband Edmond Magrath and her children Margaret and Michael were living in Glown with her brother Jeremiah when her second son John William was born.

Jerry Ryan Finds Coal in His Backyard

Picture from 2000 - Jerry Ryan’s monument is the leaning stone on right: "Erected by Ann Ryan alias Hayes in memory of her husband Jeremiah Ryan of Gleninchnaveigh who departed May 27, 1860 Aged ??"

The story of the coal mine has been documented by Frankie Shortt in the first issue (2010) of the Upperchurch Drombane Historical Journal.

“Coal was discovered in Gleninchnaveigh or Glown in 1856 on Jerry’s Ryan property. Tradition says he was digging the foundation of an outhouse when the coal was discovered. Richard Armstrong, Moyaliffe, the landlord, employed Richard Millet as engineer to investigate the vein of coal. Richard Millet wrote a number of letters to his uncle Richard Beere Esq. in Dublin between November 1856 and June 1857 outlining the progress of the mine. The vein of coal was 4 ft below the surface and was 4 ft wide running approximately north south. A shaft was dug 4 ft x 6ft at the start of March 1857. Miners were brought in from Hollyford mines and only 2 miners and 2 labourers could work at any one time. One letter mentions 14 miners and 8 labourers over a certain period of time. The local folklore says that the miners came on horseback from Tipperary town each day.”

“At approximately 25 ft deep carpenters were employed to timber the shaft going downwards.” A consultant brought in by Armstrong recommended closing the mine due to the quality of the coal but Millet argued the opposite point of view claiming the coal was of sufficient quality for several uses. Millet’s argument seems to have won the day and the mine became even deeper, employing explosives to aid in the excavation. As the dig continued the air in the mine got worse and water began seeping in. An accident led to the death of one of the miners and this seemed to discourage some of the miners from returning. The work in the mine seems to have stopped shortly after the shaft reached a depth of 63 ft in June 1857 “due to the vein of coal getting so narrow as to make it unprofitable to work.”

“A report in 1858 from the Geological Survey stated that the mine was closed and filled in up to about halfway. It stated also that a shaft had been dug horizontally from about halfway down along the vein for about 30 feet. All in all the coalmine in Glown lasted only a short time. A shaft existed up to recently (2010) but was filled in due to its dangerous state.”
