Hi John Lynch, I descend from a long line of Lynch's originally from Ireland but thereafter happily ensconced in Manchester. Wondering if the names David Lynch 1794-1871 and his wife Eleanor Francis Bab(b)ington 1798-1874 ring a bell in your line ?

No, I'm afraid not. My great grandparents came (separately, as teenagers) from County Cork to Highgate and Dartford. My line spread to Bedfordshire and the North East but none went to Manchester. We didn't have any Davids. And they aren't where the bastards came in--the Catholic Irish were all married at least nine months before the birth of the first child. But those mill girls in Lancashire and miners' daughters in County Durham--dear me :-) John Lynch -----Original Message----- From: lancsgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lancsgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of terese mcgrath Sent: 13 February 2014 06:35 To: lancsgen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LAN] Family history Hi John Lynch, I descend from a long line of Lynch's originally from Ireland but thereafter happily ensconced in Manchester.
