Approx. what year did your Lyons' immigrate.Here is an exerpt of our Web site at HTTP://WWW.EROLS.COM/SAILER/LYONS.HTML
There is apparently a cemetery nr Charleville with lots of Lyons there.
"Legend further suggests the father of Timothy in Ireland may be Patrick but the information to date is at best sketchy. A recent letter (dated 4th Aug 1999) written by Vincent Cagney of Charleville, Co. Cork, Ireland to Anne Lyons Hart confirms the presence of an O'Connell family in the area of Gibbings Grove in Charleville where our John Lyons and siblings are believed to have lived and married. Charleville, Co. Cork is less than 3 miles from the Co. Limerick border where they were born. He postulates these families may well have been tenants for Gibbings living in thatched houses in "Copper Alley". Ballinakill Cemetery is less than a mile from Copper alley and is the probable burial ground of our ancestors. "
