Linda, Great news.  I have recently joined the Tyrrell Family History Society (free) and one of their members links you to a Tyrrell Family Tree or builds one for you.  He came back to me with a transcript directly from the Shoreham Parish Records which confirms that it was George who perished off the coast of Goring in Sussex and that he was 46 when he died.  It seems that all three coast guards bodies were recovered and buried within two days of each other.
John, my link there has sent you an invitation to join the group at http://www.tyrrell-fhs.org/
Click on the JOIN HERE at the bottom of their page.  Might take a couple of days as they are all volunteers. Kind Regards Sandra

Point taken.

Hi Linda  Find My Past gives Frederick as marrying in the first quarter of 1846 and also adds the following:
FREDERICK TYRRELL married one of these people
JANE SPINKS, ELIZABETH NAUNTON, MARY GOULD, ELIZA CRAWLEY.  Most of my Tyrrells were Coast Guards so more than likely we are talking about the same family. 
What happened today just goes to show that one should look a lot closer at the evidence i.e. I had not noticed the 6th child Emily sitting there all along on the 1841 census. It even gives her uncle's name which I can now add to the Simmons side. I love finding the little nuggets, it keeps me going. There is definitely an Elizabeth Jane Tyrrell christened on the 16th October 1871 at Burnham in Essex to Frederick Tyrrell and his wife Jane.  Unfortunately, they don't give her maiden name. What I don't understand is why Elizabeth Jane doesn't show up on the 1881 Census.

My husband is a Butler on his late mothers side.
Her name was Mary Agnes Butler born 4th May 1913 to Thomas Butler born 9 May 1883 at Coolanick, Oylegate and Johanna Murphy 1 Jan 1886 of Courtnacuddy, Wexford who married 30th April 1906.  Their witnesses were Katie Butler and David Redmond (They themselves married each other in about 1906.
Thomas and Johanna had 6 children in total:
Pierce born 1906
John born 1908
Catherine born 1909
Mary Agnes born 1913
Arthur born 1917 and
Michael born 1919

Thomas died in about 1957 and I have the newspaper obituary.
Johanna died in 1920 of a bleed on the brain in the hospital of the local workhouse,  Thomas re-married a Mary Kehoe who it seems was the architypical Step Mother from Hell.

John moved to Oxford in England, met and married a lady called Irene Winifred Maisey in 1936. They had two children. John died in 1975, Irene in 1970.
Catherine appears to have become pregnant, was taken to Dublin where she gave birth to a daughter Annie Theresa Butler in 1935. Annie contacted us through a friend some years ago but nothing from her for some time.
Mary Agnes passed away in December 1985.
I have no additional information on Pierce, Catherine, Arthur or Michael.

I'm hoping to find the marriage of a George Tyrrell to and Elizabeth Simmons around 1826 and the births/baptisms of their six children after that date.
I believe two of them were William 13 Aug 1826 and Frederick March 1831. Both born in Kessingland.
The family are mentioned in data I found about George Tyrrell relating to his job as a Coastguard. He was drowned in August 1836 along with two other men when taking an officer from one station to another on the Sussex coast.  Their boat was his by a squall and the only survivor was the officer. It stated that George had a wife and six children.
