James Byrne

Hi

My name is Katherine Dorie I am looking for more information on my great great grandfather James Byrne his parents and any possible siblings he may have had. What I have found out so far:

James was born in county Cork, and baptised on April 5, 1817 in Bandon.

His parents were Garrett Byrne and Ellen Colman.

He went to London, England to become a doctor and graduated around 1845.

He became a ships doctor. Lived and practiced in Australia for a few years before he came back to London where he met and married Lucy Frankland on May 5 1857. In the anouncement for their marriage it states:

Married FRANKLAND, Lucy: 7 MAY 1857, St. George's Cathedral, Westminster Rd
Byrne—Frankland Marriage On the 7th inst., in St. George's Cathedral, Westminster-road, James Byrne, Esq., M.R.C.S.E., to Lucy,
only daughter of the late Thomas Frankland, Esq., 

I suspect with this announcement that his parents may have had land or been better off in Ireland. 

They moved to Australia later that year and had their first two children there, two girls Lucy and Harriet.

They came back to London and settled in Little Il ford England, around 1862 and had two more children a daughter  Alice and then a son James Colman Byrne (my great grandfather). 

James died in 1869 in West Ham England.
