Thank you for your reply. It is interesting because George Albert's death certificate listed John Ryan and Elizabeth Byrne as his parents. I assumed it was an error made by the person giving the information and the last name Byrne sounded familiar. George is on the 1880 census with his parents. If the census records are correct John and Elizabeth (Browne) were born in Canada - Elizabeth's ethnic background is Scottish. I would be happy to share and compare what I have -
