Adam Loftus LYNN - Ballarat

[MaggieTag]

Hi Rootschatters,

Looking for information on the gent above who I think went to Australia c1855 (gold rush era) from Ireland. He hailed from Wexford Ireland and his wife Mary Anne Ferres (daughter of Dr Samuel Ferres) was from Larne Co. Antrim, Ireland.

I've come across a few intriguing snippets that mention an Adam Loftus Lynn, Attorney, Ballarat, but havent been able to follow any of these up cos cant access the sites.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

Margaret

Hi Leanne,

Amazing! Thanks so much.

Having a bit of difficulty searching on the pages for Adam Loftus Lynn - any hints appreciated! Time for bed now in a wet and cold Belfast. I'll have another go in the morning when I have a clearer head!

Thanks again,
