Hello Josine..I'm just seeing your message..I'd like to try to help...would you have any further info on John Ryan & Mary (Whelan) Ryan?? I know you state their daughter, Mary was b. 1890 but you're not sure if she's the youngest..but you do think they were at least born? baptized in Colliers?? for sure from Colliers..I'm from Colliers and both of my parents families have a long history as well..my Mom's maiden name is (WHELAN)..not sure about a connection to your Mary..Her father, "Pop" Whelan was b. 1891 in Colliers..his father, David Whelan also from Colliers, b. abt. 1864 - this is all I know for sure about him..have you checked this genealogy site for details??..a few things to keep in mind - the couple, John & Mary (Whelan) Ryan, could have been married in places such as: Brigus, Harbour Main, Harbour Grace or even St. John's..if they were married in Brigus, you should know there was a major fire about early 1930's which burnt church records..they could have been married anywhere between 1890 - 1880?? or even, 1890 - 1900??..you can get in touch, Nora
