Lynaugh

[noseyoap]

Hi, looking for a Patrick Lynaugh born about 1840 in Kells, County Meath. He moved to Lincolnshire where he married Ann Elizabeth Harmston in 1877, he was listed as Lanaugh.
Can anyone help please

Hi noseyoap

I have just looked on the IGI but couldnt find him. Have you got his marriage certificate? If not this will give his fathers name and occupation.

Hi - yes I have the marriage certificate, they got married at Little Gonerby Lincolnshire. His father was listed as Bryan Lanaugh (deceased) and her father was listed as James Harmston (deceased). Have come to a halt with Patrick but I think I have found the marriage of James Harmston in Dunblane

Hi

Irish research can be tricky as many records were destroyed in a fire in 1922 at the Public Records Office in Dublin. Lynaugh is a rare name though. You have his fathers name and his birthplace to go on.

There were two Thomas Laynaughs in the 1851 and 1861 censuses. I wonder if they were related?

could be, I haven't found any of the family - where did you find them?

The Irish Family History Foundation at www.irish-roots.ie includes some parish transcripts for Co. Meath - with the following possible baptism  matches :

 Lynagh    Patrick    1837    Co. Meath   
 Lynagh    Patrick    1837    Co. Meath   
 Lynagh    Patrick    1839    Co. Meath   
 Lynagh    Patrick    1839    Co. Meath   

all in Athboy RC parish which looks like the next-door parish to Kells , Athboy town is about 10 miles south of Kells

it's  a pay site (€5 per transcript), index search is free if you register.

civil records started here in 1864.

Hi

I am csure that one of those is that of your Patrick Lynaugh. If one of them had a father named Bryan then you are onto a winner.

I have just looked on the web site of Meath County - Roman Catholic Parish records and have found:
 baptism for Kells between Jan 27 1832 and Dec 31 1873 - NLI pos 4185 and
 baptism for Athboy between Jan 14 1827 and Jan 12 1858 - NLI pos 4173.
Can you tell me if this means the records are available to look at and where? also would I be able to look at them online.
Thanks

those films will be available in the National Library in Dublin.

you order them using the film numbers (NLI pos 4185 / NLI pos 4173)

The details for these parishes seem to be included in the Irish Family History Foundation website mentioned above..
