Hi all
I’m wondering if anybody may be able help me locate the birth place of my gg grandfather Thomas Lynch. In the 1911 cencus it says he was born in Cork Ireland and aged 52 living in Newport Wales. The earliest record I have for him is an 1877 marriage record to a Margaret Donovan in Newport Wales. There are a few conflicting dates of birth between his cencus’s, Marriage record & death cent but they are defiantly the same person. His birth date would be mid to late 1850’s. I have searched lots but haven’t found anything. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

From the marriage certificate what is his father's name and occupation?Do you have census entries other than 1911?

It says Thomas Lynch was his fathers name. In previous cencus records it just says Ireland.

If we are to help you then you need to supply as much information as possible.
What was his father's occupation?Using each census entry what is the most common date of birth?Last edited by warncoort; 07-02-2018 at 6:20 AM. Reason: OP's further response.

not sure if this is helpful or not
FindMyPast gives me two Thomas Lynch baptisms, County Cork, second half of 1850's with father also Thomas:-
baptism 17 October 1855, father Thomas, mother Margaret Broderick, Ballymartin, Imogeela, Cloyne, Cork.
baptism 31 May 1857, father Thomas, mother Mary Colbert, Youghal, Cloyne, Cork
neither record, as far as I can see, mentions father's occupation
this is probably a silly question - do you know when your Thomas Lynch died and his stated age at death ?

Hi Wimsey
Thanks again for your info. I�ve had look at the names you gave me on Find my past. I�ve also found another Thomas Lynch born 1854 in Ballymacoda to a Thomas Lynch and Catherine Ormond. The truth is it could be any of them. The only thing I have to go on is that he was born mid to late 1850�s in cork Ireland according to cencus records. I then have a marriage record for him in Newport Wales in 1877 to a Margaret Donovan. Then a death record for 1919 in Newport wales aged 60. I know it�s not a lot to go on.

not sure what to suggest. of course if 60 is an accurate death age, that would be an 1859 birth.
if I take 1859 as the birth date, the next Cork baptism on FMP of a Thomas Lynch son of Thomas Lynch is
24 February 1863, Imogeela, Cloyne, Cork. son of Thomas Lynch and Mary Dalton.
Not sure that takes us any further forward. We need him on more censuses and an idea of his occupation. Are there any Lynch witnesses on the marriage record ? He should be on an 1881 census with Margaret - I haven't looked for one yet.
