Individual Details

Cornelius (Con) RYAN

( - Mar 1876)

Con had two farms, one in the townland of Raheen Lower in the parish of Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary and the other in the townland of Soloheadbeg, which apears to be in Soloheadbeg parish (please correct me if I am wrong). He and his wife, Catherine, lived in Raheen.

In 1865 Con signed a deed which handed control of his land to his brother-in-law Thomas Treacy (Catherine's brother). In 1874, however, he signed the land over to a Ryan nephew. This resulted in a court case in 1877, a year after Con's death, involving Catherine and Thomas on one side and the aforementioned nephew of Con's on the other. The judgement went in favour of the nephew. In an account of the case in 'The Treacys of Soloheadbeg', a article by Denis G. Marnane in the 2010 Tipperary Historical Journal, it appears Con had been bullied by both sides into signing over the farms.
