Re: Edward Lyness

Hi,
While doing some research on my father's family, I came across your geneology reserach. Ada Lyness was my father, George Edward Lyness' sister and thus my aunt. My father, George, was born May 14, 1907 and died in March of 1978. We didn't have much contact with the family back in Fondu Lac Wisconsin as we lived in Washington State. I would be interested in any information that you might have especially in regards to living relatives. I don't think any of my dad's 4 sisters are still alive. We used to get calls from Ada occasionally but she was the only one who contacted us. I am the youngest of 7 (53 yrs old) from my dad's marriage to my mother, Leona Abbott, who proceded him in death in 1969. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Patty Lyness Davis

2003-03-01 23:01:20Z

I was wondering if anyone could help me. My gggrandfather was Robert Lyness, born in Belfast in 1853. I think (but I'm not 100% certain) that his parents were Thomas Lyness and Mary Anne McCormick, born 1830 and 1829 respectively. Around 1855 they left Ireland for Scotland. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Re: Origin of name

2002-04-23 14:54:38Z

Hi Nance,

I've only got back to 1853 for certain as I'm still new to genealogy, although I'm fairly certain I can go back to Ireland in 1829, but so far the names you gave mean nothing, except John who was my grandfather, but he wasn't born until 1901. If I can find a link I'll let you know.

Re: Origin of name

Re: Origin of name

2001-12-16 03:32:13Z

Thanks. I had an aunt who also said it came from France. There are 7 columns of Lynesses in the Belfast phone book.
Apparently it's a common name in Scandinavia. It may well have come from Vikings who went both to Scotland and Normandy. Also Russsia.

There is a village of Lyness on the Orkney Island of Hoy.

Re: Origin of name

2001-12-16 03:16:13Z

The farthest I can trace my LYNESS tree back is late 1880's to Lurgan County Armagh, Northern Ireland. A great aunt told me that the LYNESS had fled from France to Northern Irelend during the whole Hugenot persecution and such. Haven't reserched that story yet.

Re: Origin of Surname Lyness

2001-12-03 20:12:00Z

Hi,
I was interested to see that your mother came from Stockton on Tees. I myself am from West Yorkshire, but either my great grandfather, or his father, came from Darlington some time in the mid to late 19th Century. If I manage to trace any further back I'll let you know.

august_schober — 2001-10-18 19:28:52Z

I am looking for an Edward Lyness. He died in 1969. His birth is supposedly 6-11-1878 Ireland ? Not sure if this info is correct on the birth. He had a child Ada Lyness born in 1912. Does anyone have any info on him???? Thank you.

Re: Origin of name

2001-08-27 01:57:07Z

There is a village of Lyness on Hoy.There are 5 columns of Lynesses in the Belfast phone book.

There are also some in Normandy which makes sense since the Vikings went there as well.

I met a fellow from Sweden who asked if I were Scandanavian since the name is common there.

There is Cape Lynes in Wales.

Re: Origin of name

Martin_Lyness — 2001-08-26 11:37:03Z

I've only just begun to trace my family history seriously recently, and I've only got as far back as the mid to late 19th century so far. My dad said that his granddad or granddad came from Middlesborough, and he also thought we probably originated in Hoy in Orkney. He always swore blind we were descended from Vikings! If I find out the origin I will let everyone know.

Re: Origin of name

2001-08-23 11:56:16Z

A-hah!
This explains why there is a 'Lyness' as a middle or first name in every one of my GRIFFIN generations.
My earliest GRIFFIN - Capt. George GRIFFIN who married Jane TAYLOR 13 Oct 1812 at Stromness, Orkney, may well have come from Lyness (have only got as far back as their marriage; no parents of birthplace/dates).
These GRIFFINs ended up in Sydney, Australia c.1825, and I have noted a LYNESS family who were also in Sydney at the same time (using same church etc.) but could never find a connection. Info below is what I've found:
Henry and Jane (nee?)LYNESS had two girls (Jane died Nsw age 31 in 1851):
Martha b. 1844 Sydney marr. Ethelbert CLEMESHA (b.1847) Nsw 1868
Emma b. 1849 Sydney marr. John HOWELL Nsw 1872

There was a Jane LYNASS who married Harry DIBLEY Nsw 1860
Also a Michael & Margaret LYNESS and family arrived at Port Jackson, Australia in 1841 aboard the 'Marquis of Bute'.
I have only noted the LYNESS / LYNASS that I could find as there were too many LYNE's to try and work out.
Hope this helps some-one
Cheers

Origin of name

2000-06-05 21:31:00Z

For Rosemary:

On the Orkney Island of Hoy there is the village of Lyness.

My guess is that it came with the Vikings as they swept south. There are also supposed to be Lynesses in Normandy, which makes sense since the Vikings went that way as well.

There are 7 columns of Lynesses in the Belfast phone book, for what that's worth.
