No birth records for Cecilia, or Dolly (probably a diminutive) but you can easily look yourself at all of the Ryan/Dwyer births on the website I gave you earlier

Ryan is probably the most common surname in Tipperary. Or so I was told when trying to research a Roscrea Ryan.

If that's the family, the 1872 marriage is NOT relevant

They claim to have been married for ONE complete year. The child Annie is aged 5 months

Marrying in 1872, the woman would have been too old to bear a child in 1918

Would a man born in 1853 be fathering a child in 1918? If so, his wife must have been MUCH younger

Have you done ANY research?

If so, which websites have you accessed?

Where was James living in 1901 and 1911?
Where was he born??

Any help appreciated, believe James married Catherine Dwyer in Ireland but understand some of family came to surrey England. Michael Joseph Ryan son 1918 who I believe he had 5 siblings. Dolly,Cecilia being 2 of them
