Hello,
My 2nd great grandfather was a Doctor who was named Dr. Samuel Thrasher Lyons and after 1830, but before 1846, he was married in Louisiana to a woman unknown and his parents were known as Mr and Mrs Lyons who were married about 1799.
I know he is connected to the Lyons of St. Landry ect., as he and his brothers are given the same christian names and his grandparents may be Samuel Lyons and Elizabeth Hough who were married in 1775 in the German reformed church in Philadelphia.
Dr. S.T.Lyons was educated in the University of Pennsylvania in the Medical Department in Philadelphia city in 1828 and he was still in Phili in the census of 1830.
In 1846 he emigrated to Melbourne in Victoria, Australia and became a Pioneer Doctor and Surgeon in Ballaraat for the Gold Rush of 1851.
I am based in Birmingham in England and i am unable to find the finance to pay for a researcher to find the Marriage of Dr.S.T.Lyons after 1830 in Louisiana.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated so i can find his parents.
Thankyou for your info, Pete.
