Did anyone ever hear of a Lyons family? Harry is in Griffith's Valuation in Oggal; Anthony & Michael were his sons, born maybe in the 1840s; both married in 1867. Anthony (my great-grandfather) married Ellen McHugh & settled in Glenfarne, Co Leitrim. Michael was a shoemaker & I think he lived in Oggal; his wife's name was McGourty. His daughter Bridget was born in 1870. They are not listed in the 1901 & 1911 censuses. Any clues as to where I could look?

The townland of Oggal is actually in Co. Cavan not Co. Leitrim. I did find Anthony and his wife and daughter in the 1901 census in the townland of Ardmoneen near Glenfarne.

In the 1911 census, Anthony was living with his daughter and son in law in Ardmoneen. Ellen had died between 1901 and 1911. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Leitrim/Glenfarn/Ardmoneen/657007/
I was not able to locate Michael in either census.
