IVORY -- Looking for any information on John Ivory, his wife, Mary Lyons, who left Waterford 1825-1827 for Quebec, where they settled. I know nothing more with any certainty about their lives or deaths. They had with them at least one son, an infant named Thomas Ivory, who at age 16 left Quebec and sailed to France where he lived until 1852 when he once again crossed the Atlantic and settled in Brooklyn, owning a series of saloons, restaurants and hotels until his death in 1881. On two different censuses, Thomas' wife is named Mary, born either in Ireland or Canada (depends on the document); in a death certificate her name is given as Augusta Page. He had three children, Ann, Thomas, and Katherine Augusta. Thomas also had a brother, John, who was born either in Ireland or Canada (depends on the document) and a brother William, who was born either in Canada or New York (depends on the document). John and William were in Brooklyn in 1850; John and Thomas from 1860 until 1880 (at least). I don't know when John died after 1880. John was married to Isabella McGoldrick and had six children. William married Ellen Corcoran, and they and their four children eventually settled in Chicgao. -- Patrick J. McCann, Jr. Dallas, TX CRESCIT SUB PONDERE VIRTUS
