Hello everyone.  From what my historian cousin tells me, I believe this Dorothy Josephine Byrne who married Jalland and Wagstaff is a relative of mine.  In the 1930s my grandmother Mary Elizabeth (Molly) Byrne (and her sister Jane "Jenny", and brother Daniel) each inherited 2500 pounds from a rich aunt.  This enabled my grandmother to get married and buy her home in Dublin.  Only the term "rich aunt" was used with regards to Josephine so I am unsure if she was an aunt or a great aunt of my grandmother.  My grandmother's father, Daniel Byrne, was born abt 1882 and, from what I can see, Josephine was born around 1862.  To me this could either be sister or aunt as it seemed common for people in that era to have children over a period of twenty years.  The fact that Josephine had 50,000 pounds when she died and that a lot of it went to lawyers and such, 2500 pounds seems a lot of money to leave to great-nephews and nieces, so currently I am leaning towards Josephine being my grandmother's aunt but I have yet to find any proof.  Any thoughts, comments, or info would be much appreciated!
