Hello, I am researching the Irish side of my family and am doing the Dillon side (on my family there is the Dillon side and the McIlroy side - the McIlroy side can be found here incase there is a need for reference of previous research:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=760680.0.
The Dillon family I have been researching is regarding Charles Dillon, his wife Jane Kyle and their children. From the information I have recorded from my cousins is that:
Charles and Jane had a son James. James left for New Zealand on the 4th November, 1875 leaving behind his brother Charles (Jr) and 4 sisters
. From my interpretation of that information is that Charles Dillon and his wife Jane Kyle had 6 children altogether? (though possibly more if any died at infancy).
From what I have researched I believe it could be James had 3 sisters not 4 - this is what I have found on their children:
Daniel Dillon - born 4th May, 1870
Margaret Dillon - born 16th July, 1865
Charles Dillon (Jr) - born 22nd June, 1867
Mary Dillon - born 19th January, 1866, married James Treacy, died 9th May, 1945
James Dillon - born 1854, married Ellen McIlroy in 1886, died 1st December, 1929 in New Zealand
From reading my notes I believe the 6th child may have been a son called Patrick or a daughter Sarah. But really I'm not sure.
Any information regarding the dates of the birth, marriage, death of Charles Dillon and Jane Kyle with their children and if possible grandchildren would be absolutley fantastic and a huge help.
Warmest regards
Ashley
