Black Swan Yard

 

1878 Home of Timothy Lyons and his wife Elizabeth[Tobin]. This is where their first child, Stephen Lyons, was born 4/8/1878. Would seem to be nearer Our Lady Church in Melior Street than Holy Trinity Dockhead Church: see map of all Lyons homes No baptism found in either. Elizabeth's mother, Margaret Tobin, died here in November 1877, so seemingly the 2 [ that of Timothy Lyons & that of David Tobin] families living together 1877-1878..
