I am searching for my ancestors that came from Ballina. My great, great grandfather is buried in a cemetery there. The surname has been spelt several different ways. Mayers, Myers, Mairs, Meers. His name was Owen Mayers and he was probably born around 1800. He had a son named Patrick. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,

Not sure if this is any help, but I am also tracing MYERS in the Ballina/Ballinrobe areas......

My father is called Patrick and was born in Ballina but not until the 1950s, he left ireland in the late 1960s, leaving all roots.

if this is anything close, feel free to email me at adamjmyers@yahoo.co.uk

Please contact me. I am researching Mairs in Ireland and am also in touch with another researcher with roots in Ballina.

Hello: The Meers family lived in Bunree, Ballina, and had an egg store on Arthur Street, Ballina. He was a Urban District Councillor. He had a son called P. J., plus one other that I know of, and P. J. is married to Freda Cleary of St. Muredach's Terrace, Ballina, and have lived in Canada for many years. His brother could be called Edward who lives in Shanaghy, Ballina. There is also a Paddy Myers who lives on Bunree Road, Ardnaree, Ballina. Any help? P.J. C.

In the same parish, same year, the couple were sponsors at the baptism of John, son of Patt Redington (sp?) and Ann Leech.
