Den,

Thanks for the reply. The email address you gave doesn't appear to work.

I'm not sure if there is a relationship to others in this group.

Just in case: The furthest I can go back is a GGG(?)GrandUncle, Thomas Pyburn married to Ann (O)'driscoll. Had son John (local coach driver). and Daughter Mary who married a Shaun Flynn.

Is this any use?

Hi. I've been looking for Pyburns for some time but have just started to use the message boards. I noticed your post as it mentions 2 surnames in my tree. My Great grandfather was Richard Pyburn, b.1827 in Limehouse (I think). He married a Mary Cronin in 1850 in Stepney. The census says that she was born in Limehouse, too but Richard's father, John, was born in Ireland about 1827. I am trying to find out a bit more about John who married Ellen Mahoney, also from Ireland. If you have any info, I'd be glad to share what I know. I am out of the country from Boxing day until mid-April but will pick up my messages as and when I can. Regards

Hi Elaine, A happy new year to you and yours. My interest in the Pyburns begins and ends with my wife's Grandma who was Mary Pyburn. Mary married my wife's Grandpa at Baltimore
County Cork,Ireland in 1907 and became Mary Molloy, my wife's maiden name. Her father was Richard Molloy the second son of Mary and William Molloy and he was as tradition required named after his Pyburn Grandfather, Richard.
Richard is a main Pyburn first name because the first Pyburn to come to this part of Ireland was a Ships Carpenter called Richard Pyburn who worked on the ships travelling between Western Ireland and the West Country of England, was courting an Irish Lady and eventually retired from the sea, married her and started a new life as a boatbuilder based on Heir Island off Roaring Water Bay near Balrtimore Co Cork.

As you may be aware because most records were destroyed in the Irish Civil War around 1922, digging back into Southern Irish History is very difficult. I can however refer you to two sources re Pyburn history.

1) A book called "Towelsail Yawls - the Lobsterboats of Heir Island and Roaring Water Bay" by Cormac Levis - Printed by Galley Head Press of Dunowen, Ardfield, Co Cork Eire. Pages 107 on deal extensively with the Pyburns who originally designed and built these Yawls.

2) The excellent Skibbereen Heritage Centre (E mail - info@skibbheritage.com) Website:www.skibbheritage.com

Unfortunately I cannot reconcile the names and dates mentioned in your message because the Pyburns are a very extensive family in the Cashelane. Schull, Baltimore aand West Cork area. Re family moved to UK from Ireland, I have noted some in the 1881 Census for England and Wales in Limehouse, London on www.familysearch.org

Good Hunting, Den Welch

Hi Eliane, Happy New Year. I cant help in identifying your
Ancestors positively. My connection with them is that my wife's Grandma was Mary Pyburn from Cashelane who married William Molloy at AUGHADOWN Co Cork in 1907.
However two sources of info are open to you:
1) A book called "Towel Sail Yawls" written by Cormack Levis and printed by Galley Head Press of Dunowen, Co Cork (ISBN 0954215907) features much about the Pyburns, the builders of these boats.
2) The excellent Skibbereen Heritage Centre has a CD of the 1901 Census with all of the local families living at that time on it. They are - Website: skibbheritage.com and

Mary

Your late husband is probably a relation. My grandfather James Pyburn was born in Cashelane in 1892, brothers Tom & Philip and sisters Mary & Jane. I visited Cashelane Farm many times in the 1970's.
