Looking for Ivory and Lyons family ancestors. John Ivory and Mary (nee Lyons) Ivory emigrated to USA via Canada abt 1850s. We think John died in Quebec, Canada shortly after arriving there. We have data on sons William, Thomas, John and perhaps a daughter , Mary, from abt 1855 in Brooklyn, NY and some of their descendants to present. According to Thomas obit abt 1880/81 in Brooklyn he was from Waterford area. He was a restauranteer, saloon keeper in Brooklyn but made a few trips back to his hometown. Any help is appreciated.
