David Blanc-Byrne

  General Notes:

Notes: It wasn't until the death of my Grandfather in 1970 that the family became aware of the fact that his surname Byrne was incorrect. His birth certificate says "David Byrne [Byrne being crossed out] or Blance or Byrne.Illigitimate".
Records show that after the death of Janes husband, Andrew Hay Leith Byrne,she didn't remarry,reverted to her maiden name of Blance and had several relationships which produced 4 illigitimate children. The identity of David's father may never
be known although I haven't given up searching just yet....
