I am looking for information about James and Bridget Healy Rush. James Rush died at the age of 30 in Tuam in 1898. He lived on Sun Street with his wife Bridget Healy Rush and children James, John, Sarah, Mary and Bridget. His daughers immigrated to Cincinnatim Ohio but the sons remained in Ireland. Bridget Healy married a man named Lyons and remained in Ireland where she died in 1947. I would like information about James Rush's parents as well as Bridget Healy Rush Lyons' parents. I would like to learn more about her husband Mr. Lyons and her life after this marriage. I would also like to learn about Bridget's sons who remained in Ireland, one of them remaining in Tuam.
Thank you,
Shauna Adams

Hi Shauna
There are 2 birth & 1 baptism record for James Rush in Galway 1868 + - 1 year on www.rootsireland.ie/ (Now a subscription site) One of the births is James Lovel Rush so not sure if that eliminates him?
The records would have the parish and MAYBE a parent's name

You might want to have a look for Bridget on that site also. The Tithe Applotments (free) 1823-37 have 5 Rushes & 4 Healys in Galway & 105 Lyons. Griffiths Valuation (1848-64) and the Irish Censuses (1901 & 1911 & earlier) are also freely available online
