Sadlierswell / Tobber-bryen
There is one landowner in Tobber-bryen which equates to the
modern townland of Sadlierswells outside Tipperary Town, that is Daniel Ryan.
The Civil Survey records that there was a demolished castle
not inhabited in the townland also.
In Simingtons Transplantation to Connacht it is recorded
that a William Ryan is listed for transplantation from Tobber Ryan. This I
think must be Tobber-bryen aka Sadlierswells. However, it’s not exactly clear
where he is meant to be transplanted as it is a bit confusing and two possible
locations seem to be given.
There is one William Ryan included in the 1659 Census in
Clare but there is no way of knowing if it is the same person or not.
Moving on to the HMR for Tobberbrian, the 1665 return
features no Ryans but in 1666/7 - a Widd. Rian is recorded ie A Widow Ryan.
Whose widow she is we can’t be sure. If it is Daniel Ryan of
Tobber-bryen then she was Ellinora Cody.
The Ryans of Solohead do have a Daniel Ryan who dies in
1679. His father was a William Ryan but was dead by the time this William Ryan
would have been listed to be transplanted. Daniel has a nephew William who was
married to a Gyles O’Mulryan (daughter of the William O’Mulryan of Annagh). William’s father is Derby Ryan of Solloghmore
– 1st son of William Ryan of Solohead.
These Ryans are a branch of the branches known as the Ryans
of Solohead. For more on them see this paper https://www.jstor.org/stable/30004649
If it is the same branch then they are descended from the
Dermot Ryan / Jeremiah Ryan who received lands around Tipperary Town following
the dissolution of the monasteries and is buried at the Rock of Cashel.
We can’t be sure who the William Ryan listed for transplantation
is but I think that the Daniel Ryan listed in the Civil Survey is the son of
William Ryan of Solohead.
By the time we reach the Tithe Appointment Books there is a
Timothy Ryan still in Tobberbrien.

Timothy Ryan features again in the Griffiths Valuation.
Ryans continue down into the 1901 & 1911 Census

Lots of interesting threads but nothing concrete. There must surely be some descendants of the Ryans of Solohead living in the Tipperary Town area.
