This is the birth order of the Ryan children.

Frank
Kathleen
Pat
Mary
Siobhan

Somewhere during the time of Rae Woodward it was revealed Frank was born in late May 1946, making him 29 in 1975 when the show began.

I am pretty sure in the first year on air 1975 it was mentioned Mary was 22.

So knowing Siobhan was the baby of the Ryan kids and if Mary was born in 1953, it is possible Siobhan could have been born in 1954, 1955 or 1956. Thus making her age 19-21 in 1975 and able to have graduated high school already.

But I should also add that somewhere during the shows run it was revealed Maeve had 2 miscarriages so since Johnny and Maeve had no high school age kids when the show started in 1975. Maeve must have stayed pregnant most of late 1945 through 1956, YIKES!!!

Wasn't it also mentioned that Maeve had a baby that died - I think his name was Sean. Is this in addition to the two miscarriages?

Sean I do not remember, meaning if that was mentioned in the episodes that SoapNet airs 7/7/75 through 12/31/81.

Did you see RH's original run SB? Could that have been mentioned from 1982-1989?

Sean was mentioned in the shows that SoapNet runs, because I remember him being mentioned and I've never seen the post-1981 shows. I believe Maeve mentioned it to Jill after baby Edmund died.
