Dear Summers76, Hi there. Could you please edit this journal, and in the surnames section have it reading

SCANLON, LYDON

that way surnames are clickable and therefore searchable.

Q.Do you know any good SCANLON websites?

Thanks, Alison.

His name's mike (he has two brother brian(married to mary with four children, (susan sharon joanne and craig) and peter divorced and one son christopher (born xmas day!)) and his dad was thomas.(he married mary a relative of hughie gallacher and my dad had a sister who died in infancy called catherine) If you need any other info you can email me at boncylad@yahoo.co.uk.

howard thomas lydon (dob02.05.71) (brother of micheal(dob02.05.71) and shirley(dob15.07.69), son of michael lydon (dob20.09.36) and yvonne lydon (nee stobbs)(dob06.09.46). My brother has two kids (connor micheal and charlotte elizabeth) and shirley has two (lily and willow (also twins!)

by the way i think my great grandad died and is buried in a war grave in hebburn cemetary you can see his details on the war graves website. I'm sure the story is that he came back from ypres and died of the effects of mustard gas. The family roots are in mayo ireland in a place called kiltimagh

Summers seeking more info on the Lydon family roots from Kiltimagh in Ireland . Its been a good while since I did any follow ups on my research. Now retired from work so here goes.

Looking forward to any details no matter how small and if anyone had any old photos of the Lydon family from Ireland. I truly hope they can share a copy for my family research records...best wishes to all the Lydon Family living in the North East stay safe and warm....cheers Summers

Calling all new members on Family Tree Circles, please get in contact if you have any details regarding the 'Lydon' family name.
My on site Journals list some basic details regarding the Lydons and Scanlon families ( both who originated in Ireland) who are direct relations to me....Any information or details no matter how small will be of great value.

In our family albums I have a few photographs of our Lydon and Scanlon
relations and I am willing to share copies, to those who are directly related to our family.

Regards

Summer
