Marcia Road home of Timothy Lyons

3 Marcia Road was the home of Timothy Lyons,1852-1923, Elizabeth, nee Tobin, his wife, 1854-1924, from 1909 until 1924. Their daughter, Elizabeth 1891 and her husband John Allen lived there from 1924 until at least 1939. I do not know what happened to them during the war, but, come 1945, they were no longer at 3 Marcia Road.

Timothy was living here from 1909 until he died in 1923. As was his widow, Elizabth, when she died in 1924.

The 1830 map shows this area as green fields!

The houses in the street were demolished in the 1990s[ they were very rundown and past renovating] and have been rebuilt using the original plans. Have I got a modern photo??
