Help with County Cork

My third great grandfather - Daniel Lynch - came from County Cork and lived in Wales, according to the1851 Census. The censustaker recorded that my ancestor was from Bartholomew, Ballinstery, or Ballintroy (censustaker's' hand writing is not clear), County Cork, Ireland. It is the only reference I have to Dan's Irish home. He was born around 1806 andleft Irelandin about 1830 for Wales.

Have not been able to find a Bartholomew in County Cork. I was wondering was that name - Bartholomew - a name for a part of Cork in the early 19th centry?

Any help is appreciated.

Dear KCmike:

Many thanks for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome to the site.

There isn't any Bartholomew reference to any parish in County Cork.  However, I'm wondering if the parish of Ballinaboy in Cork is the place where your ancestor may have come from.

The catholic parishes associated with this civil parish are Ballincollig and Ballinhassig. 

If you have any parents' names that would be very helpful.  You can add further information to this thread. 

Kind regards,

 

Jane.

Dear KCMike

 

Another possibility is Bartlemy very close to Ballinterry in County Cork the English census  enumerator probably registered it wrong .

Bartlemy is located 6 minutes from Rathcormac in county Cork and I did find a baptism on www.rootsireland.ie (subscription site) for a Daniel Lynch baptised on the 2e November 1806 in Rathcormac, son of Patrick Lynch and Johanna Curtin.

Can you tell me where where in the UK Daniel exactly live in 1851 so that I can have a look at the record and try to figure out the place names?

Jane is correct there is no such place as Bartolomew in Cork.

See attached screenshot of the location of Bartlemy in County Cork

Thanks so much for your help on this question. The Daniel Lynch from Bartlemy may be him. 

I attached the census page for my 3rd great grandfather so you can see how the census taker recorded Daniel Lynch's home as County Cork.

The census taker, however, got Daniel Lynch's name wrong in the 1851 census. He records list it as John Lynch. (John was his eldest son.) 

I'm sure that the John Lynch is really Daniel Lynch because of the similarities of the names and ages on the 1841 and 1861 censuses. On those censuses, Daniel Lynch is listed as from Ireland. Furthermore, I've done the research on Daniel's childen coming to America and everything checks out on the censuses and death certificates. One of his sons, Thomas Lynch, was my second great-grandfather. 

I also have the 1832 bans of marriage announcement for my 3rd great-grandfather Daniel Lynch and his wife, Elizabeth Hughes. Do you know if the names of parents were recorded on marriage certificates in Wales in the 1830s? That might be one other place to look for family connections.

Again I appreciate all your help on this. The Lynch family has wondered for years where Daniel Lynch came from in Ireland. 

Oh and Happy St. Patrick's Day.

I wondered if you have had time to review the 1851 Wales census page that refers to my 3rd great-grandfather. The question is if the census record looks like it refers to Bartlemy in County Cork.

No luck so far in finding Daniel's parents names from another source, But I'll keep trying. As I said the John Lynch is really Daniel Lynch. The census taker just recorded his first name wrong. 

Again thanks for the help.

Bartholomew Purdon (c. 1675–1737) was a County Cork landowner and a long-serving member of the Irish House of Commons. He was also a Justice of the Peace and served as Deputy Lord Lieutenant of County Cork for many years. He was High Sheriff of County Cork in 1708–9. That what I found from Wiki. There are some info at almanacs I found at  Amazon. I had one Bartholomew when I was studying in college. He was a really talented writer and worked at propapers reviews site. He even told me about the place of his birth, but I no longer remember. If there are many talented writers in County Cork, then I know what region it is from. :)

Hope you find what you are looking for.
