I am interested in receiving a complete copy of this obituary, since I believe that this is Nanno Byron my Great Grandmother.

I think Nanno Byron is my great grandmother too! Nanno Byron was married to Thomas Byron they had several children including Ann Byron Rimby, my grandmother. Thomas and Nanno appear in the 1900 census which shows both having been born in Illinois but living in Nebraska in 1900. Please let me know if you have anymore information. I would love to get a copy of that obituary if you were able to obtain it.

Here it is:

The funeral of Mrs. Thomas Byron, who died at her home thirty miles south of Wood Lake, Saturday, March 7, 1914, was held in St. Nicholas Catholic Church Tuesday at nine o'clock, Rev. Father Blaere officiating. Five children and many friends are left to mourn her death. (The Republican, Valentine, Nebraska, Friday, March 13, 1914)

Thomas and Nanno had 5 Children. The eldest was John Joseph Byron, my Grandfather. Ann was the next in line and had only one child based on what information I have found. The last three Children were William, James, and Joseph, and there are no record they had any children. Could you fill me in on Anns decendents? I have many pieces of information and would be interested in comparing notes.

Nanno had 3 children: from her marriage to Rondo Tipsword-Diane Tipsword (who has no children), an illigitimate son who was adopted out, and from her marriage to Carl Tanksley, me Sharon Tanksley Moodley Mowbray-one child from my marriage to Kandasamy Moodley-Leela Moodley Sork. Leela has 1 son Slade Adam Sork from her marriage to Eric Sork.

I have some court records on Jesse Rimby if you are interested.

I have been trying to trace back for more info on Thomas and Nanno Byron. Do you have any info on their place of birth? My daughter and I are just starting to put together a geneaology.

Thomas Byron and Nanno Hayes were married on 18 Jan 1885. They were married in the Catholic church in Ivesdale, Champaign County, Illinois, by father Dan O Dwyer. The “Witnesses” to the marriage were William Hayes and Helen F. Byron (neither relationship is known at this time). (I have a copy)

Thomas listed his residence as Colfax township, his occupation as a farmer, that he was white, Irish, and would be 24 on his next birthday. He listed his parents as John Byron and Anna Sullivan. John (33) and Anna (21) were married on 30 April, 1856 in Sangamon County, Illinois (I have a copy). From 1880 thru 1900 he was a farmer and lived in Colfax township, Champaign County, Illinois. 1n the 1900 Census Anna was listed as having had 11 children of which 8 were living.

Nanno listed her residence as Monticello, that she was white, Irish, and would be 22 on her next birthday. She listed her parents as John Hayes and Anna Ryan (both sets of parents were born in Ireland). I have less information on her parents at this time.

On all Census reports, both Thomas and Nanno stated that they were born in Illinois, and that their parents were born in Ireland.

According to Social Security application forms (I have copies).
John Joseph was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming
Ann was born in Monticello, Piatt County, Illinois
William Michael, James, and Joseph Lionel were all born in Wood River, Hall County, Nebraska.

Nanno died on 7 March 1914, and is buried in Valentine, Nebraska.
Thomas died 21 November 1929 in Monticello, Illinois, and is buried in Ivesdale, Illinois.

My lineage is from John Joseph who married Mary Nutter. They had 2 children from the marriage, Jacquelin and Barton (my father). Barton married Juanita Covert and they had 3 children, Barton (me) , John, and Patricia. Only John has any children, and they are Amanda and Nathan. My aunt Jackie married Howard Disney (no relation) and they had 4 children, Byron, Barbara, Victoria, and Deborah. They have additional children too numerous to list at this time.

I would be interested in trading any pictures, documents, stc.

I am interested in the status of Nanno Rimby. Did you meet her?. Is she still alive? If not, where is she buried? Etc;.
