Peytons in Mayo
I’ve been trying to trying to find out more about my paternal 2nd and third great grandfathers, Michael and Anthony Peyton for several years now. I am struggling with the Irish records, if they exist. The earliest record I have for Anthony and Michel is the 1861 England Census, where they are living in Yorkshire, England but lists them born in Ireland. Anthony/Antony (b~1811) is married to Ann (b~1813, unsure her maiden name) and has 4 children: Michael/Mikel (b~1844), Mary (b~1846), Cathreen (b~1848), and Ann (b~1851). There are Prices/Treaner/McNolty living with them at this time. The 1871 England census for Michael does say he was born in Mayo, Ireland and Michael’s marriage record to Louisa Bates in England is in the Non-conformist records. I wasn’t able to find much in terms of records for Anthony, Ann and their daughters.
Would anyone have any ideas or suggestions on where to look next?
Thanks,
Serena
