Nellie Lyons - Tournafulla, Co Limerick.

Jim:

Roots ireland had the baptismal record. See below. I could not find the related civil record. There was also a church baptismal record for a sister Mary. No marriage record on Roots.

Hello Jim, I was revisiting your request for info on Nellie Lyons and have now found the marriage for John and Mary FOREHAN - not Ford as you suspected. The date was 27 Jan 1874 and the marriage was in the parish of Mount Collins and Tournafulla. The record is in the National Library of Ireland, which you will be able to look up.

Nellie was recorded as 1880 in Glengurt South, Tournafulla                Was there another sister Mary A Lyons 1878 and Adelia 1882?

Mary Ellen Forehan was born in 1854   I believe had a twin brother Denis or perhaps a cousin as the baptismal dates were different ie 3.2.1856 and 14.7.1856   

both baptised in Monagea, Newcastle West in 1856                                                                                      

mother was Ellen Curtin born 1835 and her father was Denis (Dennis) Forehan 

John Lyons 1849

I hope that this gives you some help and I know that there is a lot of records ref: the Lyons in Tournafulla and Glengurt in the Roots records but sadly I am unable to get into that site at present. There is still a large family locally and there is a history of twins in the family too

Good Luck again
