Hi Caryl
I'm very glad to hear from you.I'm been trying to find a member of John Byrne's family for a while now.I had the place of birth for John as Tilton because in the 1921 Census for Newfoundland it lists the place of birth as Tilton for John,Lawrence and William.I have information going back to your gggrandfather Jacobus Byrne.I would be more than willing to share information with you.Could you send me what information you have so far, I'll check it with what I have and I'll send you the information to fill in the blanks. I would especially like to have the information on John Byrne,his wife,children,siblings,spouses and any other tidbits that you might have on his family.You can contact me off the list at
pmbyrne@shaw.ca so we can exchange information.
I'm also waiting for information from another person who said that he's been researching the same Byrne family and he's been doing it for 20 years so as soon as I get the information from him I will forward it to you as well.It will be great to finally be able to add more information on John Byrne.
John was the brother of Lawrence Byrne(my dad's father). Lawrence married Bridget Byrne(Byrne was also her maiden name).Bridget's parents were from Spaniards Bay but her grandfather was from Upper Island Cove,Nfld.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.Take care.
