Individual Details

Malachy RYAN

(Abt 1850 - 28 Mar 1924)

It is not known if Malachy had siblings.

Like his father before him, Malachy was headmaster of Garryhill School, a primary school located about 100 yards from the cottage where Malachy was living (in Knocklonogad?). Malachy also taught Greek and Latin to students wishing to study for the priesthood. He and his family also ran the local post office, and it appears he also took over the Knocklonogad farm of the family of his wife, Mary.

According to the 1911 census, Malachy and Mary had been married 23 years and had six children born alive, all six of whom were alive at the time of the census.

Malachy's death record tells us that he died of "senile decay".
