Hi List, I am a 'lurker' at the moment as I have so little information to go on that I just have to hope that something turns up. I am interested in any information on the families of a Catherine GOLDSMITH who was married to an Owen LYNCH. I do not know for certain that they were natives of Nova Scotia but their daughter Suzannah LYNCH ( born c1832) married 1 January 1852 at Annapolis John PATERSON who was in a detachment of the 42nd Regiment (Black Watch) stationed there. They left soon after that for England where John went off to fight in the Crimean War. This family eventually migrated to Australia. The LYNCHES in Nova Scotia may have had a sheep farm according to oral tradition. Suzannah was reputed to be an excellent horsewoman. There may have been connections with Boston in USA according to oral tradition. Suzannah was supposed to have had a relative who had a glassworks in a place called Copelands (? William Lynch Glassworks) in USA. Can anyone shed some light on any of these people please. Anne MAYE.
