    Default Lynch Family

    I am looking for information of a Lynch family from Corley Lancashire. They had a daughter Mary Veronica whom I believe moved to South Africa some time before 1946, though I cannot find her on any shipping records. She was born 10 Jun 1918

    Thanks

    According to a public tree on ancestry she was married to James Adolph Murray 19 August 1943 in Magistrate's Office, Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa. They have the marriage certificate. James Murray died 1949 Krugersdorp, Transvaal, South Africa. There is no death recorded on this tree for Mary Veronica.
    Her parents Thomas Edward Lynch born 1890 Preston Lancashire died 1948 Natal, South Africa.
    Mary Curley born 3 April 1880 Ardwick, Manchester, died 10 SEP 1963 Krugersdorp, Transvaal, South Africa
    I'm not sure whether you are wanting information on her parents, siblings, grandparents etc or just need to know when she went to South Africa

    Hello Christina. That is wonderful thank you. I know about her married to James but nothing about her family or record of children. Anything would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hi
    I am having difficulty finding anything for Mary Veronica.
    Her father Thomas' and mother Mary's death certificates are on familysearch.org. If you take a look you may recognise the names of the person "causing the burial.'
    James Adolph Murray's death registration lists a Patrick Thomas Murray as a child and being a minor and being of the marriage to Mary Veronica.
