Ryansvale was a property established by three Irish convicts, James, John and Michael Ryan, in the early 1830s and owned by Michael's descendants until 1911. The property was located south of Goulburn, NSW, on the Braidwood Road. Located on Ryansvale was a small village where the Ryans, and their employees and families lived. A house was built in the early 1840s as well as a large church. A cemetery was established next to the church, and church and cemetery served the Irish Catholic families who lived in the surrounding districts.
