Earliest Waterford ancestors for our family are James LYNCH born about 1785 in Tallow. He married Ellen LANE of Ballyduff (Parish of Lismore) about 1811. Their daughter Anastasia LYNCH (Born 1813) Ballyduff married John CHAMBERS of Ardmore in 1836 at the Catholic Church at Macollop. John CHAMBERS must have been born about or before 1813. The Waterford Heritage Survey can find no record for him in Ardmore. There is a CHAMBERS family in the next parish of Clashmore (Records start in 1814) with the father's name Thomas. John CHAMBERS oldest son Thomas was born at Ballyduff in 1838. Many other given names of this Clashmore CHAMBERS are repeated in the family. Cannot find any records. We travel to Ireland at least once a year. Thus far have had no success with records in County Waterford for CHAMBERS. John and Anastasia LYNCH CHAMBERS emigrated in 1847 with members of the LYNCH family. 3 years later they sent for their 3 sons who were staying with grandparents in Ballyduff until their parents were settled in the USA.
