BYRNE AND MCKIERNAN AND PRIOR INFORMATION
From a copy of the Marriage certificate of Co. Cavan in the Parish of Templeport on 22 November 1865 John BYRNE age 23 a farmer living in Templeport married an Ellen McKiernan age 20 spinster also of Templeport. John’s father was a Francis Byrne also a farmer and Ellen dad was a Hugh McKiernan also a farmer. Married by a Terrance Wagawrah (?) marked CC
In the presence of Peter DEVINE and a Catherine BANNON.
This information and the following was the result of me contacting the Cavan County Genealogical Research Center back in 1998. According to the letter Ellen’s address was given as Killimority which they stated refers to Killymoriarty townland in the parish of Templeport.
The children:
Francis Berne, born 12th May 1867 sponsor: Michael Berne and Mary Berne
Catherine Byrne, born 16th November 1868..sponsor Francis Byrne and Margaret Reilly.
Michael Byrne, born 1st October 1870...sponsor Francis Berne and Mary Plunket.
Mary Berne , born 7th November 1872...sponsor Hugh Reilly and Mary Reilly.
Peter Byrne, born 6th November 1875...sponsor Dan Prior and Margaret Prior
Margaret Byrne, born 27th April 1879...sponsor Pat Reilly and Anne Prior
John James Byrne, born 16th April 1881...sponsor Michael Byrne and Rose Baxter.
Thomas Bernard Byrne, born 27th May 1883 ...sponsor Francis Byrne and Mary Byrne.
All are born in Cronary the only one missing is an Ellen listed in the Philadelphia paperwork, the census. The ages vary for the family in the census and records over here . But I also know the information is only as good as the informant....The names all match and so the order of BIRTH. That is why I do not doubt they are the same family.
The first son, Francis Joseph Byrne married a Bridget Pryor (Prior) in Philadelphia on 18th of April 1894 and was living in the South Philadelphia area. Francis and Bridget were married at Saint Charles Borromeo Church located at 20th and Christian Streets in the South Philadelphia section of the city. The marriage was conducted by the Rev. J.F.

Francis James Byrne was born on 17 July 1897 and was baptized on the 1st of August 1897 at Saint Charles Borromeo Church at 902 South 20th street (20th and Christian).
