FANNON Patrick....LYONS Mary

[kazlee50]

G'Day Everyone
I am hoping someone in this site can help me make a connections to family of a Patrick Fannon who was born c1823/24 in the parish of Drum, in or near the town of Athlone, Co Roscommon. He joined the Army at 17 serving in Nth America, Gibralter and the West Indies. He came out to Australia as a Pentioner Guard aboard the "Vimiera" 22 Dec 1865 with I believe his wife Mary Lyons ( b c1838 in Dublin??) and two sons, Martin b c1863 & Michael b c1865. They went on to have the following children that I know of.
James Bernard b 4 Nov 1867 (my gr grandfather), Robert b c1869, Francis b c1874, Mary Terese b     c1876, Patrick b c1878, & Bernard b c1881.
I would dearly love to find anything on either Patrick or Mary re siblings and/or parents.
Thank You

Hello Karen,

What denomination were Mary and Patrick?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

Hello Brucey,

KazLee (Karen Martin Sunny Pilbara Western Australia) has a profile on and has posted to Ancestry on another subject. Having difficulty connecting to send a message but she last visited the site in April 2012 from an edit made to a post.
If she is still active you may have better luck posting to the thread below as she may have changed her email details in the 6 years between posts.
