Looking for information on Michael Lyons born 1834-1837in Ireland. Immigrated US and settled in Granby NY. I found a census that shows he was living in Granby in 1850 with some people with the last name Lewis. He died 1881. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi E,
I'm afraid www,rootsireland.ie/ has 32 baptism records for Michael Lyons 1834-7;counties are Cork, Sligo, Galway, Waterford, Mayo, Meath & Kildare.
I assume the census doesn't mention his county of origin. Do you know whether he was C of I or R C?
Did he have children? Do you have their names in birth order? We could look for parents with the names of his first son and second daughter just in case he followed the Irish naming pattern with his own children.
There are no Michael Lyons in the 1841 or 51 Irish Censuses.
