hi all looking for info on great great granparents john byrne and elizabeth kilbride....
story recounted to me was that byrnes were wealthy but john ran away with elizabeth who was a maid..
dont know how true this is , my mother retold this story to me years ago
as far as i know they were originally from the louth area
thanks

It would help if you give us an idea of dates.

oh yeah that would help i suppose
the only date i have is a birth date for elizabeth kilbride of 1852.
they had 10 children one of which was my grandmother ellen byrne 1879-1960.

Did parent search in IGI (www.familysearch.org) and found 6 children but they may not be the correct family-
1. Michael born 15 June 184 Finglas, Glasnevin, Co. Dublin (page 1 in civil register)
2. Eliza born 17 Aug.1868 Co.Dublin
3. Anne born 8 Aug.1870 Co.Dublin
4. Catherine born 8 Aug.1870 Co.Dublin
5. Ellen born 20 Oct.1874 North Dublin
6. Jane born 6 July 1878 Co.Dublin

Have you found John and Elizabeth in 1911 census yet? it would give an indication of marriage date and then you could find the certificate which should list fathers' names and occupations which will give an indication of social status.
