BYRNE Family

John LEARY at 08:32:09 on 14 May 2006

My name is John LEARY. I Live in New Zealand. I have just found out that an ancestor of mine, Charles BYRNE of Cullentragh was born around 1729 at Ballyrogan Co. Wicklow and died at Knockrath. 
Where abouts are these places when looking at a map of Co. Wicklow?

You asked, on 14 May, where are Ballyrogan and Knockrath. I don't know where the former is, but Knockrath is between Laragh, (near Glendalough) and Rathdrum. Knockrath Post Office, (now closed) overlooked the Vale of Clara, about 4 miles from Laragh and 3 miles from Rathdrum. There were many Byrnes in Co Wicklow.

I am a Byrne descendant with roots back to Ballyrogan House, Wicklow. It is located near the town of Redcross (just outside it actually) which you can easily locate on current Irish maps. There house is still standing (I was there in 2000) and there is currently a Bed & Breakfast-type place there and art gallery. Go to your internet search engine and type in Ballyrogan + Wicklow + Ireland and it will pull it up for you. I happened upon your question as I was looking up my 4th great grand uncle Charles Byrne of Ballyrogan, born bet. 1760-1780 (which would be the generation after your Charles by the birth dates.) His brother James, is my 4th Great Granfather who eventually immigrated to America. Their parents were a Byrne and his wife was a Tarrell and they lived in Ballyrogan House until she died but I do not have a date yet. Your Charles might have been the brother to my 5th Great Grandfather since they would be of the same age range. It would appear that we are probably related at that point. Interesting to be sure! I would love to hear from you further and perhaps we could exchange information. Hope to hear from you soon.

I am looking to find the Wicklow Co. part of my Byrne relatives. The first to America that I have found was James Byrne b. Abt 1826 married Bridget Whyte. He was in America by 1855. I think he can over with a brother but it is such a common name I don't know for sure and researching it has been hard. The names came down every generation--so they are all Charles, John, James, and Thomas

Hi, I don't know if this is in the right section but I'm looking for information on my ggg grandfather Thomas Byrne. He was born in 1811(approx) in Dublin and was a carter. He was tried in 1829 for pick pocking and was placed on the hulk "Essex" for transportation to Australia. He married Winifred Rankin in 1841 and had a son Patrick Joseph Burns. I'm trying to find out who where Thomas Byrne parents. He couldn't read or write so his children became Burns' not Byrne. I hope someone can help. Cheers

Re: Byrne family of Wicklow

Gloria Byrne at 20:36:35 on 28 Jun 2009

I'm researching my mother-in-law Her name was Ellen Byrne and she was born in Wicklow in 1889. On her death certificate it says, father: Thomas Byrne. I know of her whereabouts since 1908 onwards.(she moved to Camborne, Cornwall, got married to a Cornishman,had six children. Her husband died and she reverted to her maiden name of Byrne. I may have stumbled across her in 1901 census, living at Lower Main Street, Wicklow with a Mary and a Patrick Fitzanson, and it states stepdaughter. So I'm assuming Thomas Byrne had died. Sorry to be so long winded, but this has been a very difficult research. I want to know about her siblins I know she had several brothers and sisters. One brother had entered the church. Anyone out there who can help?

Hi - I don't know if this is appropriate here, but I have just discovered this noticeboard and would love some help. I am trying to trace my G grandfather, John Charles Byrne who married Margaret about 1850, possibly in Kildare. The story my father told was that John Charles died abroad of yellow fever soon after his only child was born, and that he was some sort of medical missionary. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
