John Dwyer, father of Michael Dwyer famous Wicklow rebel

[genseacher]

Looking for the brothers and sisters of John dwyer  born about 1748 married Mary Byrne.
 
John Dwyer was the father of (Michael Dwyer b. 1772 Glen of Imaal, Wicklow)  the famous rebel of 1798 rebellion in Ireland.

John Dwyer was from seskin, co wicklow, and and then moved to eadstown, co wicklow and was a farmer.

Would appreciate any help in the above as I have traced most of his son's (Michael) descendants.

John Dwyer's son, Michael Dwyer (m) Mary Doyle 1798 and died Tuesday 23 August 1825, age 53 at Cabramatta - The Tellicherry Five, a book by Kieran Sheedy, gives a lot of information on this family but nothing (as far as I can remember) on John's family.

Cheers

Hi all
Especially wicklow people
I need information on Michael Dwyer's father John Dwyer of Seskin Co Wicklow
I know that John Dwyer married Mary Byrne (there parents of Michael Dwyer)
I need to know when John Dwyer was born and when he died and locations.
Also the big one -  I really need the names of his brothers this I'd say may help me big time as this
is the direct line I need on the male side
And if possible who his father was.

I have a site on Michael Dwyer and know his childrens children and so on.
Would really appreciate any help from ye wicklow people maybe your relatives might throw some light on this.
I have done some major research on Michael Dwyer but have found little on his father.
thank you all

Do you have any information on Mary Byrne. My own ancestors were Byrne/Doyle, Ballinguile.

As I am in Ireland I am familiar with the locations. The Byrne farms (Edward and Laurence) at Ballinguile were on the fringe of the Glen of Imall, very close to the Michael Dwyer cottage.

Thank you so much for that information.  No Edward or Laurence there.   Regarding Rose I found in 'my' Byrnes if a child died they gave another child the same name. Thanks again.

Hello.  I am a first time contributor and am interested in Doyle, McDonnell, O'Neill, Byrne and Wicklow.  My Doyles had a relationship to Michael Dwyer or his wife, Mary Doyle, or both.  In the 1820s, in NSW, one of my Doyles had a neighbouring farm to the Tellicherry Five and the first-born generation of Doyles had Dwyers and Byrnes as godparents.  The godparents were the children of Michael Dwyer and Hugh 'Vesty' Byrne.  However, the generation before also had Byrnes and Neills/Neales as godparents.  One was Myles Byrne (not sure if it was THE Myles but ...).  This was in the Catholic parish of Avoca.  I'm wondering if anyone can tell me of a Doyle connection to Hugh or Myles.  My great-grandmother was Elizabeth O'Neill daughter of John O'Neill and Mary Byrne.  She married Matthew Doyle and they came to NSW in 1851.  The towns mentioned are Rathdrum and Ballymuntha(?).  Thanks
