Finding Irish ancestry

[C lynch]

Hi all

I’ve been trying to find where abouts in Cork Ireland my Ancestors came from.

My 2x great grandfather Thomas lynch was born in cork, Ireland about 1854. His Fathers name was Thomas Lynch according to his marriage certificate. His mothers name as Catherine who appears on the 1891 cencus for newport wales.
The earliest record I have for Thomas is a 1877 marriage certificate aged 22 to A Margaret Donovan in Newport wales fathers name also Thomas Lynch.

Then theres the 1881 cencus Thomas is 26 living in Newport it says born in Ireland.

1891 cencus Thomas is 24 form cork Ireland living in Newport wales and his mother Catherine is living with them as a widow from cork Ireland aged 60.

1901. Cencus Thomas is 43 from Ireland living now in Cardiff.

1911 cencus Thomas is 52 from cork Ireland living back in Newport and has his cousin staying who is also called Thomas Lynch. Thomas was born in Merthyr tidfil his fathers name was Morris who would have been Thomas’s uncle.

Then there’s a death certificate for Thomas in 1919 aged 60 from Newport wales.

I have found a Thomas lynch married to a Catherine Ormond in Ballymacoda, cork Ireland. With a son called Thomas.

Any ideas if this might be accurate. As you can see Thomas’s date of birth jumps around a little but I can’t quite be sure. Any help would be great.

Did he give an occupation for his father or was he noted as deceased?

It does say he was deceased but it says that he was a Wharf labourer.

Sorry. It does also state that Thomas himself was a Wharf labourer. Not sure if they may have come over to wales as a family or his parents stayed in Ireland. I couldn’t find anything to suggest that they did come over.

.....his cousin staying who is also called Thomas Lynch. Thomas was born in Merthyr tidfil his fathers name was Morris who would have been Thomas’s uncle.

Looking at the birth registrations the wife of Morris was Ellen WELSH and they married in Wales.

Marriages Sep 1879
Edwards Elizabeth
LEWIS Richard
Lynch Morris
Welsh Ellen
Bedwelty 11a 131

Perhaps a second marriage for Morris. The father's name on that certificate might help to find a baptism for Morris and at least establish exactly where in Cork they were from.

Hi Dundee 10

Thanks for the info. I hadn’t found Morris and Ellen’s marriage record before now. Do you think Morris re married?

Hi Peanut I think this is one. I’m going to order up the birth certificate of thomas’s Uncle Morris like dundee10 said and then trace it back to be sure. Thanks for your help.
