If his death was mentioned in the 1980 Annual Report, then assuming it's an end of season report, I'd bet that this is him: 3 June 1911 - 26 Oct 1980, buried in Adelaide.
Fantastic work! I think that would have to be him. It has the name exactly right, and 1911 would fit well enough for his year of birth.If his death was mentioned in the 1980 Annual Report, then assuming it's an end of season report, I'd bet that this is him: 3 June 1911 - 26 Oct 1980, buried in Adelaide.

1977 Ryan is listed here as dying on 15 Oct, but there is no matching record on the cemetery website. Even searched all of the variations on spelling, James or Allan as the surname etc, nothing.

Alan James Ryan (1911-1980, and dying in Adelaide) looks like a perfect fit to me. That 1980 Annual Report definitely suggested he died in 1980.

It was presented at the AGM on December 3 1980, so there was plenty of time for that news to be included in the report.
I'm delighted to say that after the AFL chaps were presented (via Collingwood FC) with a good deal of information on Alan James 'Mick' Ryan (including the above crucial evidence, and the fact that his death was mentioned in the 1980 Annual Report) that they have agreed to make changes to their records regarding his DOB and DOD (this is from a Steve Rodgers email):If his death was mentioned in the 1980 Annual Report, then assuming it's an end of season report, I'd bet that this is him: 3 June 1911 - 26 Oct 1980, buried in Adelaide.

Okay, thanks a lot for that. The top one is definitely our man, as Robert Edward Burns was a medical practitioner and born June 3 1884, but is this for a specific part of Wales (Bedwellty in particular would be handy!), or does it cover a much wider area?
Okay, that makes sense. I wonder if this was him getting married a second time? Given his WA connection it has to be rather likely, but if so that one didn't end well either:
Okay, thanks again. They seem to have a few doctors living there!
