Hi Maureen, nice to hear from you. I gave up on this forum a long time ago. I have a paid membership at genes reunited. If you have a membership there, email me and I'll grant you access to my tree. It's quite extensive on the Lyons and Eccleshall sides and growing. Strange that you should contact me today out of the blue - I received an email this morning from someone asking if the Harry Pickles in my tree is related to their Pickles. I was going to call your mom ;-))

Jenny, does any of this sound familiar to you? I just recently received this from a granddaughter of one of the daughters mentioned here--I am a granddaugter of another one of the girls mentioned:
The Lyons family featured in an article and photograph published in The News of the World, published in 1909, around June, and headlined ‘Big Irish Family’.
The photograph of the Lyons family became known as the family photograph. Featured are the parents, William James Lyons (age 52) and Mary Frances Lyons (formerly Synnott) (age 47), school teachers at Drummully, near Clones, County Monaghan, and their nine daughters and five sons.
The daughters’ names and ages are: Catherine (29), Mary Frances (27), Lucy Ellen (25), Isabel Florence (21), Margaret Jane (19), Elizabeth (17), Ethel Gertrude (12), Eileen Maude (10) and Winifred (8). The sons are: William James (23), Joseph (18), Thomas (14), George (13) and John (5).
The photograph shows two other men. I have been told they are a Bert Wilson and Jack Good, married to the two eldest daughters, Catherine and Mary Frances, and at the time the photograph was taken all four were home from SOUTH AFRICA. Family story has it that Winifred went to South Africa as well later.
