Hi,
I am looking for further information on Charles Byrne, son of Sir Gregory Byrne by his second wife Alica Fleming. Charles was born in 1692 and died in 1751. He was married to Margaret Colclough and had 4 sons, John, Dudley Colclough, Gregory (d 1742 Rosconnel) and James (d 1774) and 4 daughters, Margaret, Alice, Frances and Mary Ann. I believe his son Gregory married Margaret Bermingham and John married Elizabeth Maher but it could be wrong and I am looking for anything to prove it. A number of records state that all of Charles children died without issue but I believe this is wrong.
Any info most welcome
Regards
Geoff Byrne

Hi
Cannot help you with your Charles Byrne but can you help me with a Bridget Campion who married Henry Byrne. They had 2 sons, Patrick & Henry and 2 daughters Margaret & Catherine.
Patrick married Ann Kavanagh and eventually came out to New Zealand.
Looking forward to your reply

Geoff,
Sir Gregory Byrne purchased a property at Kilmocar for his son Charles which apparently had a castle on it. Charles replaced this with a house he named Byrnesgrove.
You will find details of Charles Byrne and his family and descendants in Volume 2, Chapter 10 starting on Page 341 of the history The Byrnes and the O'Byrnes authored by Daniel Byrne-Rothwell and published by the House of Lochar, Isle of Colonsay, Argyll, Scotland. You can go to their website for further information.
Sincerely,
Anthony Byrne
