Lyons family from parish Ballymacward & Clonkeenkerrill

GalwayClonkeen (Galway)

We are visiting county Galway August 27-30 and looking for information on Lawrence and Bridget Carr Lyons family, sons William, Patrick, Matthew, and daughter Bridget. William was born February 22 1865 in the diocese of Clonfert. Would it be possible to meet with someone there who might show us possible residence, grave of Lawrence or any geneological information? It would be much appreciated. Great great grandson Dick Jones would be thrilled. reply darlglmr@heartofiowa.net.

Dear Dick and family

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you - I am still trying to find out if our Ballymacward volunteer is available.

Parish records for Ballymacward do not begin until 1856 for baptisms and 1885 for marriages. I haven't been able to find a marriage record for Lawrence and Bridget as a result. Children born to this couple include:

Michael born 10th September 1867

Matthew born 3rd June 1872

Bridget born 14th march 1876

The family lived in the townland of Annagh.

Best wishes

Clare Doyle
