ISO information for Michael Lynch or Elizabeth Wilde

KerryTralee (Kerry)

My son and I are searching for more information for Michael Lynch and Elizabeth Wilde. They were married at St. John's in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland Feb. 8, 1834. We have this information;

Michael and Elizabeth Wilde Lynch had to run away from Ireland to be married, as Elizabeth was the daughter of a well-to-do English land baron for whom Michael Lynch worked as a gardener and coachman. He and Elizabeth fell in love and wished to marry, but her family strongly disapproved, so they eloped, married and came to America, landing first in Nova Scotia. According to Michael Lynch's application for naturalization, his port of entry to the United States was Troy, N.Y. in the month of June 1836.
We know how the family progressed in America to Towanda, Bradford County, Pennsylvania,but can find no information of either family previous to their marriage.
There is probably an entirely different way to trace the English in Ireland so that also presents a problem.

Dear Ruth, I did extensive research on this family before but cannot seem, to access it right now. The Wild/Wylde family are from Derrymore. The link below will take you to church records for the family.

I am not 100% sure but I think this is the sane family

I will  try to find the research I completed some time ago but these links give you something to be getting on with while I try to sort out why I can't find the older link.

Warm wishes

Martine.
