Lyons family of Bridget Lyons who was witness at wedding of Michael Cantwell and Mary Hurley
in Dowlais in 1867.
Mary Hurley's father Denis was in census with Elizabeth nee ? Daviess ? with step child named Sullivan.
Searching to connect any of these fine Irish who lived Dowlais in 1860-1880s and Penydarren and worked
the coal mines.

Do you find Cantwell or Hurley in that Parish records?
Also, these Irish families in Wales are connected closely to the Carroll family in Pennsylvania.
Might our fine Fr. Carroll of St Illtyd RC Church in Dowlais be connected?

Hello sulli There is a marriage record for a JOHN SULLIVAN to CATHERINE LYONS married 8th MAY 1860 at ST MARY'S RC Chapel in Georgetown, Merthyr Tydfil.
Address given of married couple is given as Merthyr Tydfil, not Dowlais.
This is old St Mary's. New St Mary's was built in the 1890s on Brecon Road, M Tydfil.
Bridegroom's father's name: PATRICK SULLIVAN and bride's father's name was THOMAS LYONS.
There are 3 children recorded with these parents' names baptized St Mary's RC church.
They are: DENNIS baptized December 1860; MARY in October 1862 and DANIEL in September 1864.
You can get copies of the marriage and baptism records from Merthyr Tydfil Central Library.
These give the dates of birth and sometimes godparents, who could be members of the family.
Best wishes,
Mike
