Hello,

Can someone help me to locate my uncle? My uncle is the son of Edward Thomas Ryan whom we believe was named J. Ryan and more than likely was named John Ryan or possibly James Ryan. J. Ryan was born some time between 1942 and 1947. J. Ryan's mother's name was Theresa. Edward was born February 6, 1896 and deceased January 12, 1978 in St. James Hospital, Wandsworth, London, England from a head injury from falling down stairs at 82 years of age. ETR's address at the time of his death was in an apartment block at 6c Ostade Road, Brixton, SW2, London, England. J. Ryan also worked as a labourer in Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland when he was in his 20s which would have been sometime in the 1960s. I have also found a J. Ryan listed in the phone directory in 1979 (1 year after Edward's death) as living at 15b Ostade Road, Brixton, SW2, London, England who I believe is Edwards son. I suspect that J. Ryan came to Brixton to settle my grandfather's affairs and this is the reason he was living in the same apartment block as Edward was at the time of Edward's death.

History:

Edward was married (Catholic) to his 1st wife Emily Bennett Cox in 1924 and lived with her and thier 3 daughters and was a solicitor from 1918-1947 with his office and home located at 13 Cathedral Street, Thurles, Tipperary.

Emily and Edward separated approx. 1942-1947.

Edward then had a son with a woman named Theresa. We do not know if Theresa and Edward ever married or not.

I have been trying to locate an obituary for ETR in Ireland and England but have only found a Death Notice in the Tipperary Star so far. Any help or suggestions with this would be greatly appreciated.

ETR's father's name is Laurence John Ryan JR (also a solicitor)and mother's name is Alice Kershaw and grandfather's name is Laurence John Ryan SR (Head Master in Model School Kilkenny)and grandmother's name is Mary Lambe.
