I haven't had any success, unfortunately, and would welcome any ideas regarding further places to search.  Nobody else in the family is any wiser than me.

Thanks for communicating.  Wendy

Seasons Greetings Wendy,

What is going on here? Are you on the right lines toward finding the parents of Thomas? I wonder why no one has had the wit to look at Griffiths Valuation of Ireland. The Mayo Valuation took place in 1856 - 57 http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php
Did Thomas emigrated as a young man in the 1870s or with his parents when he was a kid? Does no one here know how to Google? http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~deesegenes/tomar3.htm

All the Best Christopher

I have a bit of information on John Coe Payne, who was my g-g-grandfather.  Would also love a copy of your photo!!
