John Timothy Lynch (1797-1865)

Kerry

I am trying to find any information on my 3x Great Grandfather John Timothy Lynch (could be Timothy John Lynch).
WHAT I HAVE:
Born 1797 in Tullig and baptized 14 May 1797 in Tipperary.
Died June 1865 in Tullig.
Married Elizabeth Palmer born 1801 in Tullig and dies 1865 in Tralee.
They had a lot of children but one was my 2x Great Grandfather, Denis (Dennis) Lynch born 1831 in County Cork.
Denis married Alice Mather. Not sure if before or after immigrating to America.
Denis died 4 Aug 1892 in Ohio, USA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A few comments. There are twelve different townlands called Tullig in Co. Kerry so I'm not sure which Tullig your Lynch family was from   www.irishgenealogy.ie has Co. Kerry church records up to about 1880. The start date for parish records varies by parish and many do not have records back to 1797. 

You indicate that John Timothy Lynch was born in Tullig and baptized in Tipperary. Almost all baptisms occured very soon after birth so it is unlikely he was baptized in Tipperary.

www.irishgenealogy.ie (Civil Records Tab) has death index records from 1864-1869. I looked at the death records for the Tralee registration district from 1864-1867 and the only record I see is a Betty Lynch who died in 1864 at age 73 which is likely not your Elizabeth Palmer Lynch since she was born in 1801.

Roger,
Thank you so much for checking into it.
I have checked www.irishgenealogy.ie. There are so many Lynches but could not find dates that matched.

My great grandfather Denis Lynch was the son of Timothy Lynch of Tullig (near Kenmare) County Kerry.  He (Denis) emigrated to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in about 1850.  He married Mary Palmer.  They had four daughters; and two survived to adulthood.  Their daughter Mary was my great grandmother.  The other daughter Ellen married a Lambert, and lived in Portsmouth till her death in the 1930's.  Denis died on 4 August 1892 -- but not in Ohio.  He died in Portsmouth.  Ed Duffy

Oh -- and my information is that Timothy Lynch was buried in the cemetery in Kilgarvan, near Tullig.

Ed,
My apologies for not replying to your March post. I did not see it. And thank you!
I saw the Denis Lynch you are talking about in Portsmouth. Unfortunately he is not the correct one. Since then I have found more out about my 2x Great Grandfather Dennis Lynch.
I still haven't found an exact date of birth. I have somewhere between 1826 and 1832 in County Cork. He immigrated to Ohio in the 1850's. Not sure exact date.
His 1st wife was Nancy Bailey Angel (a widow) born in England. I don't know where they married.They had 2 sons, John W and Frederick D (my Great Grandfather). Nancy died 1874 and Dennis remarried, to Alice Mather in 1876 in Cleveland Ohio. They had a daughter, Violet, and a son, Charles. Dennis died 30 Dec 1898 and is buried Woodland Cemetery in Cleveland with Alice. Nancy is buried Erie Street Cemetery in Cleveland.
I have not found any information on who Dennis's parents were but I am still digging.
