The Family of Patrick Lynch & Mary Murray, c1830

This file is a place holder to link three brothers who appear in Shettleston.

  • Patrick Lynch, born about 1833, who married Ann McGee in 1855.
  • John Lynch, born about 1835, who married (1) Isabella Sneddon before 1860 and (2) Mary Hally in 1864.
  • Thomas Lynch, born about 1837, who married Margaret Murphy in 1867.

    Patrick's marriage certificate is the only source of real information about the parents (assuming it is accurate).

    I read his birthplace as Killmashulligan, Co. Sligo but have been unable to find anything to confirm this name on a map or as a townland name. However, I did come across the Parish of Kilmacshalgan in the Poor Law Union of Dromore West (on the south side of Sligo Bay).

    He states that his father Patrick was a Labourer and his mother Mary a Maid Servant. Both were dead by 1855.
