Hello Today I received a death record of a John Lynch, labourer age 40 who died at Ramsdene St Collingwood 22nd March 1866. His parents were shown as Patrick LYNCH a farmer and Bridget LYNCH formerly McGRATH. The informant on the death record was his brother Patrick Lynch of Nelson St Williamstown who stated John was from Limerick, Ireland and had been in Victoria about 15 years and was unmarried. There was an inquest into his death 23rd March 1866[Rupture of liver and extravasation? of blood]. I know my John Lynch's father's name was Patrick but have no idea of his mother's name or any siblings so was hoping this record may shed some light on my missing gg grandfather John Lynch. I don't feel he is my John Lynch as mine was born in Kilrush Co Clare in 1827 according to his army record and came to NSW in 1853 on the "William Prowse" from India, with his wife and infant daughter and had another daughter in 1859 in Sydney. His wife remarried in 1865 so I presume he had died between 1859 and 1865 but no death record can be found for him in NSW. He was in trouble with the law in NSW and spent time in gaol 1853-1855 that I know of. If anyone has a missing Patrick & John Lynch b abt 1826 with parents Patrick & Bridget nee McGrath in Limerick, I would be delighted to hear from them. Regards Joan in NSW, Australia
