I am trying to work out the family background of a grand-aunt by marriage who died in or around Ballyneety in April 1957 (probably aged in her early 80s).

She was born (somewhere in Co Limerick) and married my grand-uncle Henry Lyons of Mitchelstown around 1903. After his death in the 1930s it seems she went to live with a niece who was married to a guard in Ballyneety.

As there is a six-year-old niece, Alice McGrath living with the couple (who were childless) on the 1911 census for Mitchelstown, I take it that this is the niece in question.

However, if she married a guard she became Alice something else other than McGrath.

So any local knowledge of Alices and guards and Balyneety gratefully received!

Regards

Hi Brendan,

I've tried searching www.rootsireland.ie/ for the marriage but it's not there!

There is a William Lyons who married a Catherine in Mayo in & there is a Henry K Thomas Lyons who married in 1903 in Tipperary but her name wasn't Catherine and a William Lyons who married a Catherine in Mayo in 1902 but no Henry and Catherine in any county in any year!

You might like to have a look on the site for Alice but you need to purchase credit.
