Hi Olwyn,
It is frustrating to come to the dead end road. I am also there with my ancestor John Kearney. I know he was born in Glin, and that is all. Keep looking! Post your family tree on Roots Web and perhaps another Lynch will pop up and connections can be made. Google Glin, Kilfergus and images will show up, and you still might be able to find a Griffith Valuation or a tithe record too.
This website has the best resource for Griffith's: You can put in the family name, townland, and or just the parish to see how many Lynch families there were in Kilfergus at the time of the Griffith's Valuation.

As for Tithe records, I found the following on Ancestry.
Jame Lynch Killeanymore, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Jams Lynch Ballinagard, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Jimy Lynch Cahard, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Jno Lynch Ballinagard, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
John Lynch Ballygiltinan, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Mev Lynch Lower Ballygiltenan, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Michl Lynch Ballygiltenan, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Pat Lynch Lower Ballygiltenan, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Timothy Lynch Ballydonoghue, Kilfergus, Limerick 1830
Below is a great link explaining what a Tithe record is:

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Good luck, Liz
