Henry Byers and his Wife (unk name) His Son & his Wife: John Byers and Jane Coote Their Children: Henry 1873 David 1875 Martha 1877 (We think she moved to Australia) Mary Jane 1879 (We think she moved to Australia) John & James 1881 (Twins) William 1884 (my Grandfather) Sarah 1886 Looking to find: - The name of Great Great Grandpa Henry's wife's name? - Did John have any siblings? - Did Henry have any siblings? There seems to be 2 Byers Families there- any links? - The property had a main house, a barn, and a house down a lane in between the barn. Great Grandpa John lived in the house down the lane on the property. Who lived in the main house? Some more information. Henry and William (2 sons of Jane & John) kept in contact with each other when Willaim came to the US. Henry had also visited his sisters in Australia and stayed there for a few years. We had always heard that One of Williams sisters married a sea captain. We also heard that one of William & Henry's sisters was a nurse. William became a N.Y.C. Firefighter. We were just in Ireland, What a beautiful country, and the people were so warm and friendly. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!
