My great grandmother was Ellen Angus nee Bryan, b l856, in Poplar, the daughter of Andrew Bryan, carpenter, b 1815 in Cork , Ireland.
I think I have found the family in 1871 with the spelling of Bryant, and in l88l as Bryan. The family lived in the Poplar/West Ham area.
Certificates give the spelling as Bryan/Brien.
Does anyone have access to Irish Records please, I would like to find details about Andrew,
Many thanks, Liz

Possible. It looks as if he married before Civil Registration started, so no marriage to get his father's name.

Hopefully, Eringobragh will see this thread - she is brilliant with Irish records - might help if you add Ireland to the thread title.
