Hi Gay, I have a Norah Lyons who was born in Kapunda/Gawler , SA in 1867 to Thomas Lyons and Ann McGann, who were married in Kapunda in 1865. I am trying to find out any more about the family if possible. I would especially like to track more on Thomas and Ann, but seem to have come up against a brick wall there. Norah was my great grandmother and married James FLOOD in Silverton in 1889. The family then ended up settling in HAY. Hope you don't mind my asking, but was wondering if any of the above was familiar?
