A "Henry Lynn" is listed in the Tithe Applotment books in Rathlee, Easky, Sligo, in 1842. Could this be a record of Jane's father Henry?

Another good find - it looks very likely.

Do you think the name was originally Lynn and somehow changed to Lynny/Linny? I've looked into the origins of Lynny a bit and Lynn is what tends to come up instead.

I'm not sure- I found as you. Lynn seems to occur mire than Linn/Linny/Lenny.

So I found the images for some of the birth records you posted from Familysearch, and they contain the names of sponsors as well as parents' names. It's kind of hard to read though. If you have access to the Ireland records on Ancestry do you think you could take a look, Heywood? They list both the parents' surname as Linny for some reason, even though the children are all surnamed McGuinness (or some variant spelling). Thanks for all of your help so far as well.

Hi Frank,
I can't see any images anywhere. Can you send me the family Search links?

Heywood,

The images aren't on familysearch, unfortunately. They are only on the Ancestry site.

Ah, I recall now that I saw Sarah Anne before.
I think I know what you mean. I have seen in my own and other Irish records the way of recording.
Her record shows:

3O July
Sarah Anne McGuinness - Pat and Jane Linny

The mother's maiden name is shown but the father's is the same as the child's. The other baptisms on the same page are the same.
Hope that helps. Is there anything you want me to cross check?

I did go through the early register previously. The earliest baptism I can see is Math? Which I think may be Matilda and that would be 1866. Pat and Jane were married 1865.

I really think that the best thing now would be to buy the marriage certificate or photocopy of the marriage details for Pat and Jane. It may not help at all but it may show more info if she was a widow. It is a gamble though.

I am also a grandchild of Mary Collins, etc. Did you mention you had access to a copy of her obituary? Can you share the link?

Thank you.
