Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Look up please :-)
« on: Sunday 03 February 08 02:33 GMT (UK)  »
Matilda Catherine Lyons (born in Ceylon according to family records 1837).

Daughter of John Morrison Lyons and Kate Lyons. Matilda dying 25 Oct 1902 - I have confirmation of that in Auckland, NZ).   Matilda married Samuel Worms in either London or Ceylon.  1862 they arrived in NZ with one child and a C Lyons which I gather is Kate Lyons!

D J Lyons is the sister of Matilda was born Islington the supposition is that John and Kate Lyons must have travelled to Ceylon around 1836/7. D is probably Dora??

This is a new side of the family so have very little information.

Can some one look up for me and see what they can find...

Thanks heaps

For posting similar questions in the different posts - I didnt realise I should have had it in one family post.

Sorry if I confused anyone or annoyed anyone.

I wont do it again.

I didnt realise it wasnt the right thing to do and go really excited.
