Thanks! He sounded like a real character straight out of the gold fields, gun and all!

[minniehaha]

"I suppose I need to buy Margaret's death certificate in the hopes that it lists her parents."

Probably the best way to go. However make sure you request a printout, this is cheaper and may contain more information than a certificate. Can also be e-mailed to you.........

This article in a NSW paper, and written during his visit to Sydney, gives good details about the life of Patrick GLEESON in Australia and New Zealand.

[minniehaha]

Maybe not helpful but these snippets (which perhaps you have already seen?) appear to relate to Margaret's brother.......

A family tree…….

Thanks for the links minniehaha and wivenho. The profile and photo of Patrick Gleeson was very interesting! I think the link to Margaret's brother helps potentially confirm her link toe Denis Lynch (the father).

[minniehaha]

I may be making up a false family tree here but will just run it past you anyway.......

1894/2818   Lynch   Denis   38YA

Minniehaha.

[minniehaha]

Further to reply #15......

This is the correct family as you will see from the second report below where mention is made of the children's uncle, Mr. Patrick Gleeson.........


https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/THA18880324.2.9?end_date=31-12-1889&phrase=2&query=denis+lynch&start_date=01-01-1886

And from the latter report there is mention of another brother, Michael Lynch........

Minniehaha.

Thank you so much. That certainly links her. What a terribly sad story for the kids of Denis, her brother and Catherine, her sister in law. Everyone knew their business too! Again, many thanks for linking the family for me!
