The one we were looking at is in the 1901 census as Wright Lyness 53 COI farmer and weaver Ann (Pollock of Bleary) b. Down wife 52, George 25, Samuel 23, Lizzie 15, Annie 10 Esther 7 He turned out to be the son of John of Drumgor per his marriage record; and he was also thought to be born about 1841. The other married Marsalla Brown on 25 Dec 1890. He might be Wright, son of Thomas Lyness and Ann Lyness born 25 JAN 1869, but I don't know. Thomas and Ann also had son Joseph born 28 APR 1871. You would think they were related, but a Lyness researcher had not found the connection. This might be Thomas and Ann in Clanrola in 1901 Thomas Lynass COI 70 farmer Ann 67 farmer's wife, Martha 18 farmer's dau COI If you contact me off-line, I will give you the e-mail of the researcher. He may have more information. conard_kc at hotmail.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
