Hello list I am trying to find the deaths of Richard Joseph & Catherine Alice (nee McQuillan) LYNCH in NSW. I have searched the NSW online records up to 1978, to no avail - are there later records available to search & if so would someone be able to help. Thanks Helen NZ

Hi Helen, The Ryerson Index is an ongoing project of transcriptions of death/funeral notices from the newspapers; although there is nothing for the LYNCH's at this time, it may change and you should check back regularly. http://www.ryersonindex.org/ There are some cemeteries who place their indexes online, and I've found a Richard Joseph LYNCH buried 1938 aged 76, and Catherine A. LYNCH buried 1938 aged 78. As you've said you have checked the NSW BDMs up to 1978 then I guess these aren't the people you are looking for. A few more details such as their year of birth or names of parents might help in the search, or if you know anything else about them such as where they were living? Is this your Richard Joseph? He enlisted for WW2 - LYNCH, Richard Joseph, Army, N154732. Born 31 March 1898, N/C-NEW (Newcastle). Enlisted 19 May 1942, Newcastle-NSW. Location on enlistment Junction-NSW. Next-of-kin Katherine LYNCH. Discharged 30 Sept 1945. Gunner. 32 Btn. Volunteer Defence Corps Part Time Duty. He also enlisted for WW1 but was found to be unfit for service. Unfortunately the records at the National Archives are so faint that I can't read them, and you might need to contact the Archives direct to obtain a clearer copy if this is the correct Richard LYNCH. His birth is again given as 31 March 1898, born Newcastle, his next-of-kin was his mother, Jane Mary LYNCH.
