Help with surname Please
« on: Sunday 07 April 24 16:56 BST (UK) »
Hi

I found the name  of my 3X Grt Grandmother on her sons Marriage certificate but I can't work out her surname. I hope I have attached the file correctly.

She was married to a John Lynch. Her son Edward was born in Londonderry about 1832 and married in Scotland 1861 to a Jane Neil.

I Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Do you have John & Sarah on any census? If so, what year was she born and do you know her pob?

Hi thanks everyone

Ladyhawk
No I have not been able to find them on census records. There was a possible one in Kent but not sure if its them. I will have another look.

Thanks again

Divine, Devine, in various spellings is a very common name in Ireland

If you look on the RHS of the pages linked you will see other ways these names have been recorded. First in Griffiths Valuation and second in other documents.

Thanks Shanreagh

I will take a look. I had not heard of the name before. I do struggle researching my Irish roots.

Thanks again.
