Lydon family search

Hello

Im looking for any help with finding the dates of birth or any information of Mary and Sarah Lydon possibly twins or born very close together, t hey were born in Galway abt 1835, Father was Thomas Lydon and mother possibly named Margaret. Thomas and his wife then had a son Michael Joseph Lydon around 1841 born Ireland not sure of which area possibly Galway or Dublin. they then had a daughter Catherine Lydon born abt 1842 in Dublin followed by another daughter Ann Lydon born in Ireland abt 1849 and a son Thomas born 1847 in Ireland but again not sure whereabouts in Ireland. It would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thank you

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Lydon/Lyden was almost exclusively a Galway/Mayo surname in the 19th century. Unfortunately many of the RC parishes for those two counties do not have records back to the 1840s. I did search on the subscription site Roots Ireland and the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie but did not find a baptismal record for Sarah Lydon. (I searched for Sarah becuse it was the least common given name).

I also did not find the 1842 record for Catherine in Dublin.
