Looking for the families of:
husband - James C, Lynch b. about 1828, m. about 1852, d. about 1912
wife - Julia Farley b. about 1830, d. unknown
We believe they were married in Ireland, place unknown. Birth places are also unknown
They had what is believed to be their 1st child in 1853 in Kentucky or Alabama.
Lived most of their life's in the Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, Alabama areas.
Love Family:
As background, many RC churches in Ireland do not have records back to the first half of the 19th century.
I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and there was a Julia Farley baptismal record December 3 1830 with parents Peter Farley and Mary Larkin. The baptism was at St. Paul's church Arran Quay in Dublin. No way to know if this is your ancestor. There were no Julia Farley marriage records on Roots Ireland anywhere in Ireland.
Unless you have more information, you may want to look into DNA testing. You may have matches with people who have Lynch or Farley connections which may give you leads on where your ancestors came from. Lynch is a very common surname but Farley is less common and found mostly in Co. Cavan, Co. Meath and Co. Dublin.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Roger,
Thank you so much for the information on Julia! It is a great hint to work with! We have another hit that has a connection to Meath. I can dig in there a little more.
These family members have been extremely difficult.....three of us working 20+ years and very little progress. There are so many James Lynch's!
My grandfather, Julia's grandson always said he was Scot/ Irish so Scotland may be a place to check as well!
Again thank you very much!
JoAnn
