Hi, I am trying to find the Birthplace of my husbands g. grandfather, I have been given the name of
Salby Co. Galway, but despite a lot of searching, I haven't found anywhere called Salby, please can someone
tell me if I have got the wrong spelling or maybe the town/village no longer exists, Thanks for any help.

Hi, The surname is Lydon, I believe this is fairly common in some areas of Galway, but despite a lot of
searching on various Irish web sites, I have been unable to find 'Salby', I think this was on his birth cert.
Many thanks, I appreciate your help

Hi MIGKY,
Thanks for that, I might well take up your kind offer if I find anything conclusive. Through my searching
for Salby, I noticed that Moycullen seemed to have a few Lydon's, unfortunately I don't know the
gr gr grandparents christian names, but maybe one day.
Thanks

Hi Ger.
Name- - - Joseph Lydon, I have him on the Scottish census 1901, spouse was Scottish, married with 3 children
aged 27, occupation- - Second Mate Rye Navy, he subsequently became a Coastguard officer, I think he died in
1927, Anglesey, Wales. The name Salby Co. Galway came via another relative, and I have no idea where she
obtained that from, maybe a birth cert. I guess that should be my next move, I would then find the name of his parents. Thanks for your interest.

If the marriage took place in Scotland the marriage certificate will give more details than Irish certificates (see Scotland's People website for what will be on marriage certificate and how to putchase credits to view the actual certificate).

Hi, Took your advice and found Joseph's marriage record with Scotlandspeople, so now know his parents
names, although both deceased by then, so back to Ireland for deaths ! Many thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Not that this is much help, but i was in Moycullen, Co Galway and took a few photos of Lydon grave stones . If you do find any came from that parish let me know and i will try and dig out the photos for you.

Hi Migky, Can I take up your offer, I have found out that Gr. Grandparents--Michael and Mary Lydon, were both
deceased by 1892,when their son married, I am also looking into the possibilities of a Martin Joseph Lydon
born 1871 in Galway, dying in Guthrie,Iowa,USA in 1968, and wondered if he had any connection to the Rootschatter you know in the States, as he could be a brother of Joseph.
Many thanks
