Michael Davis and Bridget Byrnes of Co Clare
My great grandfather Thomas George Davis was born about 1870 in Ennistymon.
He migrated to Australia abt 1890. His death certificate states his parents were Michael Davis and Bridget Byrnes.
He had a brother Michael born abt 1857 and he migrated to Australia as well. Death certificate states parents are Michael Davis and Bridget Byrnes.
Other siblings found are:
John born abt 1862 - migrated to USA
Ellen born abt 1864 - migrated to USA
Bridget born abt 1865 - believed to have migrated to Australia
Annie Francis born abt 1869 - migrated to USA
Through DNA we have connected with the families in the USA.
Looking for any information for Michael Davis born abt 1830 - I have looked for a death verification with no luck.
Bridget Byrnes - we have her parents as Mary Kenna and Thomas Byrnes - looking for some information there.
Through DNA matches we connect with the Devitt family. I think the common ancestor there is Mary Kenna.
Another cousin has Mary Kenna married to a John Devitt and they had a son Thomas Joseph Devitt born abt 1834. Descendants of Thomas are here in Australia.
Mary Kenna then married Thomas Byrnes.
It would be interesting to see if anyone cane come up with anything regarding these families. They are all connected through the DNA. The Davis families in the US and the Byrnes and Devitt families here in Australia.
Thankyou for all your help
