Hello All! . My wife's name is Ann (nee Dwyer) Morton. She was born in Philadelphia in 1935. . Ann's ggm was Ellen (Burke) Dwyer. Ellen was baptised in Tipperary Parish in the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly on Dec 5 1833. Ellen's sponsors were Edmund Frewen and Mary O'Dwyer . Ellen's parents were Tobias (or Theobald) Burke and Mary (nee Fox) Burke who were married on January 17 1833 in Solohead/Oola Parish, also in Cashel and Emly Archdiocese. . Ellen's sibling, Patrick Burke, was baptised in Tipperary Parish on March 23,1835. Patrick's sponsors were David and Catherine Burke. . Ellen married William Dwyer (born Ire.) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at St Anne's Parish on August 8 1854. (Ellen and William had emigrated to the US in 1845/1846 respectively, per the US 1900 Census.) . William and Ellen's first child, William, was baptised at St Anne's on September 30 1855. William's sponsors were Thomas K Allen and Catherine Dwyer. . William and Ellen's fifth child, Helen Dwyer, was baptised at St Anne's on June 12 1864. Helen's sponsors were David Burke and Hanora Joice. (Note that a David Burke (see above)was a sponsor at the baptism of Ellen (Burke) Dwyer's sibling, Patrick Burke, in Tipperary Parish. I could not obtain a baptismal record for David Burke). . Regarding Ellen (Burke's) husband, William Dwyer, I know that he was born in Ireland, but not where. It seemed somewhat logical to look for him in Tipperary, Ellen's birthplace. Also, the US family thought he was from Tipperary or Cork. I corresponded with the Tipperary Family Research Office for William Dwyers born there during the period 1825-1829. . They found only two entries that might fit my William's scenario, both born in Tipperary Parish. . A William O'Dwyer was baptised April 1,1826, son of Cornelius O'Dwyer and Judith Cleary. Sponsors were John Heffernan and Mary Ryan. Because the name Cornelius did not appear to be carried on in my William's family, either in Ireland or the US, they felt this was not a good fit. . The other William O'Dwyer was baptised April 14, 1825. His parents were William O'Dwyer and Bridget Phelan. Sponsors were John and Brigid O'Dwyer. Since the name William is carried on in both Ireland and the US (to the current day), the Tipperary Office felt that the William O'Dwyer born to William O'Dwyer and Brigid Phelan is a better possibility. This obviously is not conclusive. . Also, the William O'Dwyer baptised April 14 1825 had a brother, Anthony, who was baptised May 31 1823 in Tipperary Parish. Sponsors were Thomas O'Dwyer and Bridget Coffey. The names Anthony, Thomas and Bridget are used very sparingly in the Dwyer family in the US. I'd be interested to hear from any lister who has information bearing on these families. Thanks to all. - Lee Morton, Medford, New Jersey, USA.

We have an Elizabeth O'Dwyer present at a baptism in Ballybristy (Thurles) in 1811. I think she was one of the sponsors, so she would have been at least old enough to be a baptismal sponsor in 1811. I don't know if we have anything else, and I'm doing this from memory. The infant was our 3GF Maher. I believe also present were a male Purcell, sponsor, and an adult female Fogarty. We are looking for parents for that Maher male and anything all on the Fogarty family, as this Maher male married an Anne Fogarty who I think was b. 1816. Does anybody know the current situation regarding DNA programs? I may just have to do that. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 18:49:45 -0400 > Subject: [IRL-TIP] New posting DWYER > > > Hello All! > > .

Bill . Google FamilyTreeDNA and firstly look for a project on Dwyer and go that way ; it is cheaper and you will see all the other Dwyers .
