Jaybee.

Hi Jaybee,

My name is Mike Lancor and my wife Kate and I have a business called Old Friends Genealogy out of Moultonborough, NH, USA.  We did some preliminary searching and found the following records:

• The Civil Parish Kilnahue overlaps with the Roman Catholic Parish Craanford in Co. Wexford.  In 1825 when the Tithe Applotment Books were recorded for Civil Parish Kilnahue, there was a Daniel Byrne residing in Townland Lyran in Civil Parish Kilnahue.  Daniel was on 39 acres of land and listed next to him in the same townland was a Michl Byrne on 20 acres.  It is very likely that Daniel and Michl Byrne were related (e.g. brothers, father and son, etc.).

• As you noted, when Griffith's Valuation was recorded in 1854 in Towland Ballylusk, Civil Parish Rathnew, Co. Wicklow, Daniel Byrne was farming on 51 acres of land.

• In the 1854, there was an Andrew Byrne residing in Townland Commons, Civil Parish Rathnew, Co. Wicklow.  We do not know if this was the brother of Daniel living in Townland Lyran, but this Andrew Byrne was the only one residing in Civil Parish Rathnew as head of household.

• Garrett Byrne and Mary Cullen were married on 21 Jan 1867 in the RC Chapel of Ashford, Reg. Dist. Ashford, in the Union of Rathdrum in Co. Wicklow.  Garrett was a farmer, residence Ballylusk and his father indeed was Danl Byrne also listed as a farmer.  His wife Mary Cullen's residence was also Ballylusk and her father was Simon Cullen (farmer).  The marriage record does not indicate that either father (Danl Byrne or Simon Cullen) was deceased.

Hope this information is helpful to you.  There certainly is more digging to be done regarding Daniel and Andrew Byrne.  Best of luck.  Our business email address is oldfriendsgenealogy@gmail.com.

Hi Mike and Kate

Thank you for your prompt reply.  It's good to hear from across the water  

I will get back to you on your website

Cheers, Jaybee  

 

Dear Jaybee:  You might try creating an Ancestor profile about Daniel Byrnes on the XO Chronicles feature of the website.  Many of these profiles are widely read by our members and they often lead to family member collaborating and sharing their information.  The link is here:  https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-database

As to the records that Lancor referred to above, they are available for free on Irish Genealogy which is the Government website for Civil records in Ireland.  This site contains births marriages and deaths from 1864.  The link is here:  http://Www.irishgenealogy.ie. It may be worth your while to contact a local historian about the family if they remained in the area through the 1901 & 1911 Censuses and as you indicated, they are buried in the area.  There is a local historical society in Rathnew--the Wicklow Historical Society.  Their website is here:  http://countywicklowheritage.org/category/county_wicklow_historical_societies and there is a lot of information contained within it.  

If you need any further assistance, please let us know.  

The best of luck with your research.  

Kind regards,

Jane
