Hello Terese,
I came across your post by chance. It seems that we have some common ancestors and we are looking for the same elements about David Lynch, married to Eleanore Frances Babbington :-)! I live in New Caledonia and I am a descendant of Thomas Babbington Lynch, emigrated from Australia to New Caledonia towards the end of the 19th century. As you probably know, Thomas was born in Leeds where he married to Rachel Jonhson. Then they emigrate to Australia and then to New Caledonia (They were a part of what we call that the PADDON settlers). You are certainly a descendent of his elder brother David George Lynch, born in 1821! Part of my family is involved in genealogical research on our Lynch ancestors. But we do not have many elements and especially not many photographs. We know that your ancestor David George married Maria Riley, then Mary Dunfey (Larrisy?), Then Catherine Cass. Which branch are you from? We would like to get in touch with you and exchange, but maybe through private messages. I am new to this site and I do not know yet how to operate. In any case we are delighted to have found someone from what we call the Australian branch of the Lynches. As you are more advanced in the use of the site, thank you for guiding us so that we can get in touch outside public messages, otherwise by email! We hope you are interested in the Lynch branch of New Caledonia, but maybe you know more than us about it
. In the hope of reading you soon! Thank you in advance.
Louis Frederic
