Hi would say John would be the brother or brother in law of Michael and Nellie would be the wife of Thomas  Nellie /Millie

[Seeper]

Yes,

Took me a moment or two to work this through but  Nellie/Millie would have still been alive at World War 1 draft time, dying before 1920.

Think John must be a brother to Michael in Ireland born in the 1840s and possibly Mary his wife as she would appear to have been born circa 1849.
And was born in Ireland.

Have just located family of Forrest  Johnson on line so might be able to follow through  on This lime.  would not have made that connection without your help.  If anything turns up on Patrick in Pittsburgh it would tie
him in as last of the brothers.

Many many thanks this has been brilliant.

Lyons. America

That is he. Not the only brother to give some incorrect  information at times,
Although correct information on Naturalisation details. SOmeone suggested they gave birth date as in America to avoid being targeted as Irish. NOt sure what the attitude was in the early 1900's

With the information you have given me I was able to pick up on the family of Thomas Roger up to present  time, brilliant.

Really most grateful and appreciative of your help. You have taken me forward in leaps and bounds, it has been an exciting couple of days.
