Looking for info about the Byers family of Cornagrow/Ballyjamesduff

[erikabl3]

Hi...

I am researching my great grandfather's family from Cornagrow- Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan, Ireland.

His name is Marcus James Byers.
His parents were:
James Byers (b. 1835 d. 1919) and Sarah Richardson (b. 1838 d. 1917). They were married in 1854. Possible wedding witnesses were James Smith and John Coote. James and Sarah had 4 living children and 4 children that did not survive birth.

James' father's name was William Byers and he was born in 1796. I believe he was married to Agnes Stronge. William's father was Robert Byers, born in 1749 and died in 1830. He was possibly married to Elizabeth Bell in 1769.

Thank you in advance for any information you may have and can share!
