Hello,
Sorry I am late to the party. I hope this thread is still active.
My gggrandmother was Nora Carroll Callaghan, who (I am almost certain) was John Carroll's sister. Her family was evicted from the Callaghan ,ands in Kilbreedy Minor in 1844 and sublet from James Carroll until she died. Her husband John Callaghan took the family to South Australia and settled in Hectorville where his daughter Mary Callaghan Burns was living. I think the May and John Byrne who were the witnesses tot he Mar Carrolll-John Taylor marriage were actually Mary and John Burns. (The Burns name went through several transitions from Byrne to Byrnes to Burns in the mid 1800s, but there was also a Byrne family in Hectorville at the time.) I am hoping to find a dna match from the Taylor line to tie us together. My dna is at Ancestry.com, 23&Me, and GEDMatch.
Thanks.
