Ireland Calls

Seeking information on: JAMES LYNCH aged 36 (farm labourer) at time of departure and ELLEN LYNCH aged 33 (farm servant) at departure time. Although other information states they were older ages when married, James 39 and Ellen 35. So either the 2 sons were born prior to marriage or the parental ages need clarifying. James born COUNTY CLARE and Ellen born COUNTY GALWAY. 5 Australian born children: Edward Joseph, Andrew Joseph, Michael Joseph and Patrick Joseph. One male child deceased.

Also on James father MICHAEL LYNCH. (possible birth date 1770/1775 or near this period? He may have been 25 or 30 when James was born –IF James was first child?) James age query is: 36 at time of departure in 1843 making him born in 1807 but died at Gundagai in 1871 at age 72, so possibly born 1799/1800.

Additional information: James parents were MICHAEL LYNCH (a blacksmith) and CATHERINE –nee O’BRIEN. Presumably of Gort but maybe somewhere nearby in County Clare? One known sibling of James is Patrick –I have further info available here. Ireland and Australia –2 marriages.

Ellen’s parents were John and Bridget (nee Hynes) CARRIGG/CARRIG (or possibly GARRIGAN?). They possibly already had a son in Gundagai, NSW Australia; as James and Ellen brought with them in their care the 2 females mentioned above. James was “engaged” or sponsored by the Gundagai person to Australia. He was a brother-in-law and was single –so a brother to Ellen could be that person?
