Margaret Lynch, wife of Patrick Gleeson
« on: Sunday 29 April 18 13:11 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the parents of Margaret Lynch, wife of Patrick Gleeson. She was reported to have been born in Ireland (according to several family trees-Clare or Cavan or Tippererary-c1846) and died in Napier in 19 Sep 1929. She married Patrick Gleeson in 1874. I think she might be the daughter of Daniel Lynch and Ann Maher (various spellings) although many of the trees say their daughter Margaret was born c1843. Their son Michael Lynch ran the Clanricarde Hotel, originally owned by Patrick Dignan. I believe this branch of the Lynch family is related to the Dignan family. Thanks for your help!

Have you looked at the passage records to NZ?
This may narrow down your search area for her birth and parentage.

Could this be her?

The information for the marriage of Margaret and Patrick is:
1874/8659   Margaret   Lynch   Patrick   Gleeson

Other tidbits along the trail to see if Margaret's heritage can be determined...

Death of Margaret and Patrick's daughter Margaret http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lzg/

Patrick's death notice http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lzh/

Mention of Micheal at the Clarincarde in 1875 and Patrick at the Aurora http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lzi/
added: Michael's possible death http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lzj/ although note there is another Michael in Auckland after this date at another hotel http://www.rootschat.com/links/01lzk/

A search at Archway for "Gleeson Lynch" throws up some interesting tidbits https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/SimpleSearchResults.do

As does a possible link between Lynch and Dignan with "Lynch Dignan" search terms.

Thanks very much for all of the links! It might be a coincidence but there are some of the right names in the references that you sent (e.g. Denis Lynch-the father and a potential brother). The Michael who died in 1876 was a client of Dignan and Armstrong. The hotel he ran again, was previously owned by Patrick Dignan. Peter Dignan, son of Patrick shows up at the wedding of Margaret and Patrick Gleeson's daughter Kate. Again, thanks for the other pieces that round out a picture of the family. I suppose I need to buy Margaret's death certificate in the hopes that it lists her parents. I have not found any trees online that mention her parents. I do see from looking at her probate that you kindly sent, they certainly had some money! Thanks again!

Hi akissling

Here is a transcript of the headstone at Napier for GLEESON :

Old Napier Cemetery - Eastern Block

807a - Margaret GLEESON d/o Margaret and Patrick GLEESON d. 21 February 1893 - 15 years.

807b - ALSO Patrick GLEESON - born Tipperary, Ireland - died Auckland, 4 March 1916

807c - ALSO Margaret GLEESON w/o Patrick GLEESON, born Limerick, Ireland - died Auckland, 19 September 1929  - 83 years.  R.I.P.
[Source:  NZSG Headstone Transcriptions @ ancestry.com.  Note: Grave numbers allocated above, do not represemt the actual plot numbers. ]
------

So, Margaret GLEESON born Limerick (not Tipperary as stated in one of the newspaper items given here earlier.).      [ And, her namesake daughter not born 1843. ]

One more thing. I tried to find a marriage announcement in Paperspast. I figured out they married on April 6th, 1874. No luck!

I think the reference in one of the newspaper articles to Tipperary was the name of their house in Auckland.

The suggested ship's passage for Margaret notes Limerick, if that is indeed hers.
