Title: John Lyons - Tipperary Assizes April 1800
Post by: Sandbunny on Tuesday 26 March 13 08:53 GMT (UK)

Hi list
Looking for information
My ancestor John Lyons was sentenced in April 1800 at the spring assizes in Tipperary to a life sentence and was transported on the Atlas (July 1802) to Australia.
According to an article by George Rude he was aged 32 and given a life sentence for his part in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. 
I am looking for any information on John Lyons, his part in the rebellion and the 1800 spring assizes for Tipperary.
Any information or assistance will be appreciated
Thank You
