Abt 1826 - 1909  (~ 83 years)

• Name	Thomas Ryan
  Born	Abt 1826	Atlantic Ocean
  Gender	Male
  Died	4 May 1909	Cape Broyle, Newfoundland
  Buried	Immaculate Conception Cemetery, Cape Broyle, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada
  Notes	According to the writings of Mr. Jim Joe O'Brien, Michael Ryan would always refer to his father, Thomas Ryan, "as a true seaman, born on the sea". Michael's father was supposedly born on the high seas, about 1826, during the voyage from Co. Wexford, Ireland to Newfoundland. Although Mr. O'Brien mentions Thomas as the first child, Mary (Ryan) McKeirnan, daughter of Timothy Ryan, Thomas' brother, stated in the 1910 US Census that her father was born at sea. This would seem to indicate that Thomas and Timothy were a twin. This may be a possibility since descendants have had a number of sets of twins. Mary (Ryan) McKeirnan, a daughter of Timothy, had two sets of twins and a great grand-daughter also has twin sons, Thomas' marriage and the baptism of his first child, Bridget, are recorded in the Fermeuse/Renews parish records, but it is not known if he lived there for a while before returning to Cape Broyle.
