Michael Lynch and Margaret Brady m1876 Mullingar

Hi, I'm trying to find information on my gg grandparents who were married in Mullingar in 1876. That's all the info I have. No DOB so unable to progress my research to find more ancestors. Thank you.

Do you have the marriage cert ?

It should show places of residence for the bride and groom at the time of the marriage, along with details of their fathers (name & occupation), which should help.

Because the births of Michael and Margaret are before the start of civil records you will need to check for church records - i.e. baptisms. Marriages usually took place in the parish of residence for the bride - so the church they married in is a good place to start the search for her family.

No Shane, I don't have a marriage cert. I only know that they were married in a RC Church in Mullingar but thanks for you help.

here are the probable references from the BMD Index :

  name: Michael Lynch
  registration district: Mullingar
  event type: Marriage
  Year:   1876
  Volume : 18 / Page: 261
   
  Name: Margret Brady    (that's the way it appears on the index)
  [same references as Michael]

Where did Michael & Margaret end up ?

You could possibly establish approximate years of birth from census returns, death certs, immigration records etc

I see several possible children (John, Michael & Mary) born to Michael and Margaret in the extracted FamilySearch records, between about 1877 and 1881 in  Rathganny area, Co. Westmeath - see :

  Lynch/Brady children

There's another couple with the same combined names, in Co. Cavan

Have you found the parents or the children on the Irish 1901/1911 census ?


Shane

Thanks Shane, just had a email from a distant cousin who stated that they came from Rathganny. Trying to find them in the 1901 census now. I think they probably lived in North Dock.

I dont see any Westmeath born Lynchs in Dublin on the 1901 or 1911 census ...

Which child of Michael & Margaret are you descended from ?



Shane

[shanew147]

dont know why the census search by county of birth didn't work - but here's a Westmeath born Lynch family that might fit in 1901 :

  Lynch household - Malachy Place, Dublin
