Hello, my great Grandfather's name was Joseph Lyons. He was a Long Shoreman and he was originally from Ireland. He moved to Boston with his wife Catherine Broderick, and they had 5 daughters, one being my nana. I say all this because my Grandmother and her sisters all believed without a doubt that their father had a second family in New York. If he was a Long Shoreman without much of a history except being from Ireland, we might be speaking of the same man.
