looks likw John was my great grandfather and Denis my grand father

interesting that their house was owned by the duke of devonshire

as he lives 4 miles up the road from where i live now !

The Duke would have owned the Ground for which a householder would have to pay an annual rent.

An Act was passed in the Irish Parliament some years ago, which gave the tenant a Right to buy the Ground,

provided the owner was in agreement.

Attached some detail on the origin of the Title.

Re: Esther Anne Lyons (Tallow)

Yes! Denis Lyons was married to Mary Scanlon. They had a family of eight children, six daughters and two sons. Six children emigrated to England and two stayed in Ireland. Denis's sister Margaret was my grandmother.

In case there is a connection, I am a Lyons and me gedmatch kit # is xp2748861

Hi, my aunt was Esther Lyons born in Tallow to Denis Lyons and Mary in Tallow. My mother was Elizabeth (Lily). Her brother Denis did run The Bride View in Tallow for a time. There were also sisters called Rachel, Maureen, Margaret (Madge) and a brother Joe. Both Denis and Joe are still alive. Joe lives in the UK and Denis in Ireland.  The house they were born in no longer exists and was replaced by a modern dwelling I  the 1970s. I hope this is of help.  

Hello Trish

The Lyons family lived here from 1792 to 1970's. The street view has changed over the years, house and forge gone, my grandmother Margaret was born there. I'm the owner of it now so you could say the connection to the Lyons family is still there after 232 years.
