Hi Listers: Looking for contacts and families of Martin C. Lynskey and Katherine O'Grady who came to US mid 1800's. Katherine and Martin married in 1854 probably in Boston. She had a brother Thomas who came over with her and settled in Boston. Both had many siblings and many came over about the same time. All were from Co. Galway including towns of Athenry, and Loughlea or Colesmanstown. I'm looking for any information about a place called Licklea Mill, probably near Colesmanstown. James Biller Jimb856@Aol.Com

THOMAS BYRNES born 1818. Claimed Dublin as 'Native of'. Parents were Thomas and Anne BYRNES. Thomas married Elizabeth MOONEY, born 1815, claimed Co Down as 'Native place'. Parents of Elizabeth were James and Bridget MOONEY So little known but it is all we have on them. They migrated to Millers Point and Eden NSW, Australia, in1840 on the ship 'Arkwright'. There was quick issue of 5. James, John J. Anne, Elizabeth A., and Mary A. I'm hoping someone sees a connection. Mary Shortis shortis@spot

I have a Marcella BYRNE of WICKLOW who married a Matthew NOLAN of Co Carlow.... c1823. After marriage they lived in TROOPERSTOWN, WIC. Known issue: Owen b 1826, Ellen b 1831, Catherine [died in infancy] and Simon b 1834. Do you see any connection to your Byrne line? [Owen and Ellen migrated to Australia]. Simon, I think, remained in Ireland but his descendants scattered to Canada, America and Australia ... and one line remained in DUBLIN. Please contact me re the above if you see a connection...I'm happy to share what I have with you Mary Shortis shortis@spot.com.au
