On This Day in Family History - May 24

Charles Byrne Lough was born 24 May 1830

Cicily Jane Lough (daughter of Charles Byrne Lough) was born 24 May 1869

Albert Summer Lough (son of Charles Byrne Lough) was born 24 May 1879

I don't have a picture of Charles Byrne Lough. I don't have pictures of Cicily or Albert, either. The photo above is Charles' son John Breeze Lough and family.

The photo below is another of Charles Lough's children -- Juliette, and her husband Albert Lamb.

Charles Byrne Lough was married to Hannah Eliza Phillips in 1852 and they had two children - Peter and Phoebe. Eliza died in 1857. 

Charles married Sarah McKenzie in 1858 and they had 10 children - Robert, Juliette, twins Mosella and Rosabell, James, Cicily, John, George, Albert, and Nicholas. (Kinda makes you thankful for birth control, doesn't it?)

How are the Loughs related to us?

Remember Nicholas Gibson (son of Colonel John Gibson and Koonay 'Anne' Shikellamy)?

Nicholas Gibson's daughter Prudence married Peter George Lough in 1816. This is the connection between the Lough and Gibson families. 

A couple of generations later, Lora Gibson married Alexander Oscar Burford II. This is the connection between the Gibson and Burford families.
