So, here's the big question ... how did you know they existed when you first started researching them?

My g/aunt wrote out the family history...then step by step working from myself to my father, g/father, his Marriage which named his father.. then this Marriage which named his father and then that Marriage.

All done step by step by step, sourcing each and everything that was on the written history.

We then run out of Civil Registrations.... so looked at the Church Registers for marriage of Thomas Hall's father Matthew and mother Hannah and at same time anything on siblings, then searched Register for birth of Hannah Lyons and siblings plus marriage of her Parents.

Then also wrote down what is on the Lyons gravestone.

The only one I could not find was Thomas Hall of Tonycoogan.....

So, after thrashing the Internet to Death  I googled   Thomas Hall   Toneycoogan after trying many other things!

and got this  http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~maryc/presby58.htm   which is how I discovered him in Canada.

And then, as the old saying goes....  "The rest is mystery!"   ;D
