Research Overview:
Even though this individual was born at Caplin Bay, specific details of his parentage and his ongoing life there are sparse.The first mention of Martin in any records was when he married Mary Tobin, of Witless Bay, at St. John's in 1874. In 1876, he received a Crown Land grant for some property on the southwest side of the main road at Caplin Bay, opposite the Old Woman's Pond. It is not clear if his home was located on this property since there is a steep hill rising up along its southwestern boundary. The location of this property suggested to me that he was the son of Thomas Ryan who lived in that same general area. I figured that if he was a son of Patrick Ryan, he would have applied for a land grant adjacent to Patrick's property on the North Side of Caplin Bay.
The Holy Trinity Parish baptisms show that Martin and Mary (Tobin) Ryan had two children, Martin (Jr.) born in 1878, and Mary Margaret born in 1880. After that, this family's presence was not linked to any other parish records, business directories, voters lists, etc. in the area. Searching farther afield, I found an 1890 baptism record for Sarah Ann Ryan, the daughter of Martin Ryan and Mary J. Tobin in St. Patrick's Church, in the west end of St. John's city. However, this record does not have enough detail to determine if this was the same couple who had lived at Caplin Bay.
