The earliest info I have is the marriage of Joseph Byrne to Elizabeth Champion 14/05/1876 in Dundrum, Co. Dublin RC church. Her parents Richard & Elizabeth.

1911 census shows Matthew ,Sherriff rank RIC (b.Waterford)(56),wife Margaret Mary(b.Galway)(46). 4 children born Clare, Richard 20,Margaret Mary 12,Matthew 10,Patrick Joseph 9. All RC.

About the sum total of my knowledge. P.

no nothing there that can help , i think it,s best if you post a lookup on the irish board , just let them know you have this post running just in case someone else comes in to help it,ll save going over the same ground twice .
