Lyons/Ryan connections - anyone out there with knowledge of this connection, my paternal grandparents were Ellen nee Lyons and James Joseph Ryan of Bunclody, Co Wexford, Eire. Ellens parents were John Lyons and Margaret O'Neil, James parents were Thomas Ryan and Elizabeth ??
Presumably they all originated from Bunclody or close surrounding areas, I also know that some of both Ryan and Lyons family settled in London and surrounding areas(as well as Halifax,Yorks)so if anyone out there has any info, please get in touch, thanks Ellen nee Ryan

I have info on 6 of the siblings. My mum (Mary) Kathleens daughter thinks that Ellen (nellie) and James ryan had a daughter called Lizzie? Then 2 boys and possibly another girl?? You probably better at knowing the details as Ellen andJames are your paternal grandparents. I have a list of the order that the siblings were born in but stolk working on actual dates of birth.
I SO hope you see this after all these years. I have only started the journey recently.
Helen.
