My grandmother Reba Myrle Tyrrell was married to Homer E. Burns. She was the daughter of Willaim G. Tyrrell. Reba was born in 1893 & died in 1943. Her father, William G. Tyrrell was born in 1861 & died in 1927. His father was Alexander Tyrrell who was born in 1835 and died in 1902. Alexander Tyrrell's father was Samuel Tyrrell and I ahve not dates of birth or death. I believe that the Tyrrell family may have immigrated to the U.S. and first arrived in Tyrrell County N.C. This is just a guess. Any additional information will be deeply appreciated.
