About Mary Lyons
Emigrated to AUSTRALIA
Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950 about Mary Ryan Name: Mary Ryan Spouse Name: William Lyons Marriage Place: Victoria Registration Place: Victoria Registration Year: 1858 Registration number: 3912
Mary Ryan was born about 1834 to John Ryan and his wife Catherine Hannon of the townland of Ballycohey in the civil parish of Shronell in County Tipperary; about four miles west of Tipperary Town. The parish of Shronell lies in the very fertile valley known as the Golden Vale.
Mary was the eldest daughter of the family and would have experienced the hardship of the “Great Famine” in her early teenage years. John Ryan and his family survived the worst of the famine by working a quarry on their rented property. It is reasonable to expect the experiences of the famine coupled with good reports from family in Australia influenced her eldest brother Thomas to immigrate to Queensland in 1850.
A new home in Melbourne
We are yet to ascertain when Mary immigrated to Victoria; perhaps it was not long before she married in 1858. She married William Lyons, son of Michael Lyons and Catherine Bourke, at Brighton on Monday 8 November 1858.[1] Neither bride nor groom was resident in Brighton. William Lyons, a labourer, gave Brunswick as his present abode, whilst Mary’s was Prahran; both nominated Prahran as their normal abode. William was aged 26 at marriage and had been born in the Catholic parish of Solohead in County Tipperary just a little to the north of Shronell.
William’s sister Catherine Lyons had also migrated to Victoria
William and Mary Lyons had five children:
1. Michael Lyons, born 1859 at Prahran, died 1859.[2]
2. Catherine Lyons, born 30 April 1860 at Prahran, died 28 January 1942 at Kensington.[3]
3. John Lyons, born 9 June 1862 at Prahran, died September 1946 at Caritas Christi, Kew.[4]
4. Michael Lyons, born 8 May 1864 at Prahran, died 1950 Perth, Western Australia.[5]
5. Mary Ann Lyons, born 8 May 1867 at Hawthorn, died 1 October 1944 at Malvern.[6]
It would seem William and Mary continued to live at Prahran until at least 1864. When living at Hawthorn, William was a railway worker.
