Looking for Flynns and Hayes (Hays?)

WaterfordDungarvan (Waterford)

I have been able to trace my family back to my great-greatgrandparents Michael Flynn (1830 - 1895 US) and Bridget Hayes (1831 - 1900 US). The dates are approximate. Family lore has the family emigrating from Lismore via Dungarvan; however, all the documents that I have found indicate the family had roots in Dungarvan. It appears as though the family were based around "Abbeyside."

Would love to discover more about earlier ancestors. Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I located the 1856 marriage record transcription on Roots Ireland. See below. Looks like they had eight children: Michael 1858 Patrick 1860 James 1862 John 1865 Thomas 1867 William 1869 William 1870 (presumably the 1869 William died) Alice 1872.

Transcription for Alice is also below. Here is the parish register fr Abbeyside http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1087
