Mary Ann (May) Ryan 1889-1937, gravestone at Eltham Cemetery0 viewsEllen Sweeney (1845-1932), one of the daughters of Thomas Sweeney and Margaret Meehan, married John Francis Ryan in 1880 in Coromandel, NZ. Their son Francis Michael (Frank) Ryan (1887-1965) married Mary Ann (May) Smale (1889-1937) in 1916.
The grave of May Ryan nee Smale is close to the Sweeney and Murray graves. May's grandson Peter Cuffley explains further:
My mother said that the North Fitzroy cousins somehow held a gravesite which they gave to Frank Ryan. I am not sure if that meant Nessie Sweeney or Patrick Sweeney's granddaughter Nellie Oliver. I am so glad that my brother Brian and I were inspired to get a properly marked grave which was made by Lodge Brothers, along with a Tynong granite ledger. Visits to the grave had been a regular trip for the family since the burial in 1937. Given that our grandmother convinced the Committee for the Shrine of Remembrance to use Tynong granite, with Lodge brothers re-opening the Tynong quarry in the late 1920s, it was good to have that firm refashion her grave. I did the wording for the headstone and first had it approved by our mum and all the cousins. We had hoped she would be able to be taken to Eltham to see the finished work but it was a long project and she got too frail by then to make the trip. She saw photos and was very pleased.Apr 07, 2025
