thomas Byrne would have been my dads cousin. My dad was born 1923 and lived in Garryvarren in Wexford. I believed that Thomas was also there. Johanna Hopley was my grandmas sister. Her sister was Mary. From searching I never seamed to find much but I thought Thomas moved to America with his wife. My dad never spoke much about his life when he was young either. I believe William Hopley died young.
