Hi CHRIS

Re the lyons family in Castle Street.

The very first time I visited Dunmore was in 1971 .Up to that time I had taken very little interest in my Ancestors but  My Father had just died that year and my work brought me to Ireland and I made a short visit to Dunmore to discover my roots

I managed to spent a very pleasent time in a bar which was also a grocer shop on the main square .During my brief stay I was introduced to two old men who also lived on the square and they told me they had been members of the Old I R A..We drank several pints together and they told me stories about being on the run in Connemara and how they fought the Black @ Tans They also claimed to have known my father and said He might have got shot if he returned home because he was a British soldier in the First World War

I was told a family of Lyons still lived in Castle Street and knocked on the door but the lady of the house said she did not know anything and her husband was dead

HI Folks

I have a Birth Certificate for my Grandmother born at louth Lodge Dunmore in 1854 ,she was called Sabina Henehan and she
DIED giving birth to my Father in Castle Street Dunmore in March 1893. I have a copy of her Death Certificate.

In the Griffiths Valuation for Dunmore 1854 there are two Farmers callled Henehan @ Heneghan.Patrick Henehan lived in LISSYBRODER  (Louth Lodge) and on the evidence .I think he is my Great Grandfather .His wife was called Mary Lyons and it appears there were six Farms in Lissybroader at the 1854 valuation.

 I think they had two other children apart from Sabina. One was called Martin,but  I cant find the note I made on this subject
