This is just a shot in the dark but will try anyway.
Looking for information about the following family.
This is the 1851 census in Edinburgh.
James Lynch 35, shoemaker. b Ireland. b. abt.1816/17
Ann Lynch, wife 36, b. Ireland. ms Rooney
William, son, 9, b. Edinburgh
Ann, daughter, 5, b Edinburgh
William, brother, 37, b. Ireland. b. abt.1814
This is the 1861 census, Edinburgh.
James Lynch 44, b. Ireland
Ann, wife, 40(?) b. Ireland
William, son. 19 b. Edinburgh
Ann, daughter, 15. "
Agnes, daughter, 9 b. "
Mary, daughter, 7, b. "
James Lynch d. Feb. 1871 Edinburgh
William Lynch age 30, d. 1876 Edinburgh
My grandfather James Lynch Ferrigan, was b. Edinburgh, March 7, 1863, illigitimate son of Mary Ferrigan. We have suspected he was the son of James Lynch. My brother sent his DNA in to A******y and we recently recieved the results. Ancestor match within 9 generations, approx. 225 years. The 2 closest matches were 2 men with the surname Lynch. We are now almost 100% certain that James Lynch was my grandfathers father.
Looking for any imformation about the Lynch family in Ireland. Maybe a marriage between James Lynch and Ann Rooney. Any help in finding information about these people will be rewarded with a good shot of whiskey!!Unfortunatly I havn,t a clue as to where in Ireland to start looking myself.
Hoping for the best.
Mary

I see a number of William Lynches in the U.S. with a 1814 birthdate in Ireland - on familysearch site - wonder if William immigrated and that's why there is no record of him after - when? 1851? If he had left the country before 1862, he's one Lynch in Edinburgh we can discount as James Lynch Ferrigan's father! By the way, was he a shoemaker too?

Hi Waffs.
Thanks for your reply. That could be an explanation why I couldn,t find more info on Scotlands People for William. Didn,t think that far.
And yes, he had something to do with shoes. The writing on the census is terrible. It says, "****** of shoes, impossible to read it, and over that again it says ***** vendor. I,ll try to get it posted here.,
Mary

Hi Waffs
Here is the document. Look at the bottom and you`ll see the same occupation as William Lynch,.

Yes, very difficult to read and looks like it might have said "hawker of shoes" before the first word was crossed off and replaced with something I can't read - is that a "shoebinder & servant" a few lines below? And the last man on the page - Henry Rodgers - looks like he was the same as William - almost "hustler of shoes" - first word crossed out and replaced with ?? vender? Perhaps the official occupation for that census did not allow "h (awker)?" and the census taker later had to change those references to "? Vender". Looking again at William - could it be saying "servant and vender" of shoes?
I need to check out occupations in the shoe industry at that time.
But do you realize that the Lynches are living at 177 Cowgate in 1861, and Mary Devlin's address for James Lynch Ferrigan's birth is 175 Cowgate, where she is until 1869. In the 1861 census she is at Kitchen's Court (no. 48), which she had been in 1856 when Edward Devlin was born and died (at a different no. at the Court) but I believe Kitchen's Court is at 175 Cowgate. Bottom line: Very close proximity!

Have just found some more info
Downloaded James Lynch death from Scotlands People. Father William Lynch and mother Elisabeth Lynch. ms Lynch.
Also on the 1871 census Edinburgh, Ann Lynch gives her birth place as Monaghan Ireland.
I Googled Monaghan, and it looks to me as it belongs to the Diocese of Clogher which I think is in Tyrone.
Would it be possible to move this posting to the board for Tyrone. I havn,t a clue as how to go about doing it.
Can anybody help me please. Moderator comment: in order to get a topic moved, either use the Report to Moderator button => or contact a Moderator directly (red ones at bottom of main page). Topic has now been moved

Hi Mary,
I may be wrong, it wont be the first time.
If you have been able to establish that the county was Monaghan, I would suggest that county is where you should have requested your messages be placed, Tyrone is much further in the north of Ireland.
I have Lynch from County Cavan, which is the next county to Monaghan, according to what I have read the name Lynch is most commonly found in Co Cavan.
Kathy
Moderator's Note: I have now moved this topic from Co. Tyrone as requested earlier to Co. Monaghan but if there are any more changes I will consider putting it back on Ireland- General board and keeping it there rather than moving it again

Sorry if there,s been problems with this posting. I found that Ann Lynch was born in Monaghan and after Googling came to the conclusion it was in Tyrone.
I,m not at all familiar with Ireland and that was the reason I first posted it on the non specific site.
Hope this is where it belongs.
Thanks for helping me.
Mary

Hello Mary
What a carry on............firstly, so difficult for you to read your Census entry and then, when one is not in the same country, and not familiar with the geography, it is so difficult to know where to post. 
I did the same, quite inadvertently, when I discovered that some of my Aitken relatives came from St Ives in England.
Only St Ives, I had ever heard of, was in Cornwall and I posted in that site. 
But, oh no, my Aitkens, came from St Ives, in Doushire (now Huntingdonshire, England). So, even duplicate town names in the UK can trip one up!
And, as you discovered, even google can confuse! 
For our Lynchs we need to obtain some death/marriage certs further back to see from where in Ireland they originated, before settling, mainly around Sculcoates, Hull, Yorkshire, England, and some from Sheerness, in Kent, England.
We will keep in close touch to help each other.......
Good hunting
