I am seeking information about Mary Meany Byrne, her husband Paul Byrne, and their children and descendants. This family lived in Harlem, New York City, beginning in the 1870s. Paul Byrne had a "beer salon" business in Harlem during the mid-1880s. If you have information about this Byrne family, please contact me.

Mary Byrne’s birth is recorded among the baptism records, below, for the Irish-born children of Bridget Coogan and Lawrence Meany, from Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, where the couple lived after their marriage, near Bridget’s parents in Ballyloughan. Other children were born to the couple in New York City.

Moony, Philip 1846 08 30 Moony, Laurence; Coogan, Bridget Ballinagole

Moony, Mary 1848 07 23 Moony, Laurence; Coogan, Bridget Ballinagole

Moony, John 1850 06 25 Moony, Laurence; Coogan, Bridget Monmore

Lawrence, from County Westmeath, and Bridget Coogan of Ballyloughan, County Carlow, were married at St. Andrew’s Church in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow (Lawrence’s name is listed as the variant Mooney in the parish marriage register).
