 Thanks for the notes. I think I might have run across that Thad birth but it doesn't seem to be him. I know they werer from Galway as my grandfather was raised by Tady and Catherine after my great grandfather (their son John born in Ireland in 1858) and his wife both died before my grandfather was 4 years old. He said TAdy used to say they were so far west in Galway that "the next parish over was America!' I know Thaddeus and Thad are common British version of Tadgh and the name confounded the census takers in MArcellus as he's often Teddy, Tata, TImothy and even TADA! BUt I know my Tdy never went by any of those names.

  IN Griffith Valuations I found a John Coyne as I mentioned in Ross and Tievegarrif townlands in BAllynakill (and a book I bought on the parish said Coyne ws the largest colelction of families in the parish at 34. Tady'/s death cert lists his father as John.. Next door to John was a Thomas Gannon known to bt eh father's name os Phillip Gannon who mariried Tady's sister, Sarah (Salle) Coyne.  found the Lydons in a nearby townland of Moyard  and the THomtons (who JAne Lydon maried into) were in Letterfrack. We also have Jane and Thomas THornton's marriage record from Renvyle.

   For the Lydons I know there were siblings of Catherine and Jane still lving in Ireland as I found a newspaper aticle from 19080 stating that a "MRs. BRidget Lydon Flannery" age 18 had come to Marcellus, NY on her honeymoon to visit her aunts MRs. Catherine Coyne and Mrs.JAne Thornton and both Jane and Catherine were long gone before this niece was born.

   Also in Jane Lydon THornton's obit in 1929 it mentions a brothe, John Lydon, still in Ireland and I found hm in the census in 1929 as still living in Galway. I have siblings mentioned in obits for Jane and Catherine as Patrick Jr who lso came to Marcellus, Mary LYdon who also came and married a Daniel Conroy I also hvae a Peter and Anthony still in Ireland who must have died before Jane in 1929. There was, most likely more.

   OH and I have Catherine born Nov 1840 and Jane born 9 June 1851.

Not sure if you're aware of this one from rootsireland:

Date of Marriage: 28-Jan-1878 Parish / District: BALLYNAKILL County: Co. Galway Husband Wife Name: John Lyden Bridget Coyne

I have a cd Memorials of the Dead Galway & Mayo which has these Coynes in Galway:
