Hi Eileen , yes that's the information I have . So on the right track.

Regards

Richard

Richard,

I looked at the paid site Roots Ireland, and it looks like John was the only child of his parents. The tithe applotment books (1826) show Timothy Dwyer & Margaret Dwyer in Upper Tomaline town land, and a Matt Dwyer in Lower Tomaline. Then the Griffith's Valutation (1851) show Thomas Dwyer & Eugene Dwyer as tenants in Upper Tomaline. 

Regards,

Hello Carolyn ,

Thank you for your help.

I had a look on Johns' marriage certificate, and it lists his father's occupation as a farmer. Does that mean that, these Dwyer's are related ?

Regards

Richard 

Richard,

Yes, those Dwyer records indicate they were tenant farmers, but what's not clear is their relationship to your Thomas & John Dwyer. 

Regards,

Hi Richard,  Carolyn gave great reply, its as much as I have researched so far.
