lynch/baker in Listowel

my great grandparents were Michael Lynch and Johanna Baker I cannnot find a record of their marriage or any sign of where either one of them may have come from-I have information on the birth of their 7 children all baptised in Listowel-the first 3 show residence in Ballahadigue-Ann-Arpil 22, 1866, Johanna (my grandmother)March 22, 1868, William July 25, 1869, Margaret their 4th child shows residence in Ballygologue-June 7, 1871, James-residence in Clounmackon-December 29, 1873, and when the final 2 children were born they were living in GLounlea-Timothy October 15, 1876 and Ellen December 5, 1878-I have inromation on some of the decendents but nobody seems to know where Michael and Johanna were from or where they were married-on their son TImothy's birth record on Family search it shows his father was born in Minhur which I presume should be Murhur---------------I have searched NLI records-Family Search, Ancestry and any site I know about to no avail...................would be grateful for any help as I have spent millions of hours searching to no avail............thank you

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I located an 1856 marriage in Tipperary town which has the correct names for the bride and groom but with a 10 year gap until the first child was born, I'm not very confident that this is the correct record. What do you thinK?

im sorry it took so long to reply to you-I have not seen your email until this minue-for some reason all of a sudden I have not been able to find the message boards-I am excited at the find although there is no way to know if these are the right people-it is the first sign of the name combination I have seen-the reality is I have not found a Johanna Baker anywhere in our area and Listowel was such a business hub who knows-the 10 year spread between marriage and first child did seem to make them an ulikely match but will check that infomation out-thank you so much for helping...............
