Some say when he died he was 78 years, also 76 and 72 so I have gone with the middle 76 years.

Hugh was born in Kirikee, his father Sylvester mother Rosanna Byrne.

I have been reading, and found a brother Michael and I believe he had two or three sister

I do not know there names, Miles Byrne mentioned them in his book the time Hugh was shot

in the thigh and his sisters looked after him.
