Australia,  who married George Drury in Ballyjamesduff, Castlerahan, Cavan on 8/09/1856. They all went to Australia in 1863. Margaret & George Drury =  From Ireland, Select Marriages 1619-1898  FHL. Film Number 101380    Ref. ID.  354 = Via ancestry.com

Parents of Arthur are Robert Lyons c.1812-1865, Cavan, & Sarah  ??.  Arthur married Mary N. Smith who was from Trim, Meath in Sydney in 1870. 

Would like to know more details about Robert & Sarah, and their families.  They were Church of Ireland.
