Title: John Byrne and Elizabeth Maher
Post by: delacyg on Wednesday 11 July 07 18:20 BST (UK)

I am looking for any information about John Byrne of Boleybeg who married Elizabeth Maher (probably around 1788) Children of John Byrne and Elizabeth Maher are Dudley Edward (b1799, d 1879), John, (b1801), Margaret (b 1804), Anne (b 1795), Elizabeth (b 1797), Edward (b 1789 d 1851), Daniel b? died 1837 murdered returning from Thurles) All children except Daniel have their baptisms recorded in Ballynakill parish. I have no dates of birth, marriage or death for John or Elizabeth. John Byrne's father was possibly Charles Byrne of Byrnesgrove (b 1692, d 1751) who was the son of Sir Gregory Byrne by his second wife Alice Fleming.

Any news appreciated
Geoff Byrne

Geoff,
You are correct this John Byrne was the son of Charles of Byrnesgrove, son of Sir Gregory Byrne.  See Volume 2 Chapter 10 page 345 of the history of the Byrnes and O'Byrnes authored by Daniel Byrne-Rothwell and published by The House of Lochar, Isle of Colonsay, Argyll Scotland.  You can check the publishers' website for more information.
Sincerely,
Anthony Byrne
