Burns 1840s Tipperary
We are looking for Irish roots of our maternal great grandfather, Lawrence Burns (or Byrns), reportedly born 17 Feb 1843 to John Burns and Julia O'Brine (sp?) from Tipperary.
Naturalization papers dated Nov. 1, 1872 show his name as Lause Byrns (bad handwriting?) from County Tipperary, Ireland, and he arrived in New York on or about June 30, 1859 at age 16. Witnesses were Hugh McPartlin and Michael Dodd.
Lawrence (a bootmaker) lived in Hopkinton & Ashland, Massachusetts, and was married twice: first to Margaret Shugrue (born in Ireland to David & Julia Shugrue), who died 7 Aug 1873, and then to Margaret McPartlin on 20 Jan 1874. She was born in Ireland to Miles McPartlin and Catherine Donahue (or Gonahue) & died 16 Nov 1917. Lawrence died 25 July 1893 (or possibly 1891).
Any help or leads appreciated. Thanks.
