Comment by Rhonda Murray on January 26, 2010 at 4:18pm: Hi Pamela and everyone,
My name is Rhonda and thankyou for your comment. My grandmother was Elizabeth Byrne and she was from Arklow, Wicklow Ireland. She migrated to Australia in 1916 and I have only now started to track down her family in Ireland and their children. All thanks to being obsessed with family history!

Comment by Shirley Burns on January 25, 2010 at 6:36pm: I recently obtained the marriage certificate of Matthew Byrne & Frances Jordan, which shows that Matthew was a widower when he married Frances in 1874 in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford. I now believe that Matthew's first child, John, was with his previous wife, but I don't know who that was yet.
Frances was his 2nd wife and they had 5 children together. Their first born was Patrick b.1874 in Co Wexford. The family then migrated to South Australia where the rest of the children were born.
Matthew's parents were Andrew Bryne and Margaret Neill.
Does anybody have a link with this family?

Comment by Shirley Burns on October 5, 2009 at 1:23am: I am researching my husband's Byrne family from Co Wexford, Ireland. Matthew Byrne & Fanny Jordon migrated to South Australia in 1876. Matthew's parents were Andrew Byrne & Margaret Neill and they had 5 children from 1833 to 1846 (as far as I know anyway). Haven't managed to get any further back than that. The name Byrne was changed to Burns on arrival in Australia, as the family could not read or write. Any help from anybody would be much appreciated.

P.S.My great-grandfather Byrne told my mom when she was a little girl that their name in Ireland was O'Byrne. When they crossed the ocean they dropped the O & that's where they got the O for ocean.He sounded like an Irishman. They always have a good story.I thought it was cute when I heard it.

Comment by Catherine Murphy Gingras on July 29, 2009 at 11:06pm: Hello my Byrne ancestor is my paternal grandmother: Sarah J. Byrne Murphy. She was born in 1866 (1867?) in Cork County, Ireland. She emigrated with my grandfather, Henry Murphy in 1881 (1882?). I don't know where they entered the US, but there first (surviving) child was born in Illinois. Sarah's brother's name was James Byrne, born in 1876 in Cork County, Ireland. He came to the US in 1893, and was living with his sister in Denver, CO in 1900. Sarah's death certificate (1929) indicates that her parents were Thomas and Mary Byrne. In historical records, Byrne is often spelled Byron.
