James Lynch from Co Tyrone born circa 1868

TyroneClogher (Tyrone)

Can anyone help me? My great grandfather James Lynch was born in Clogher, Co Tyrone on 28 May 1868. In 1905 he was in Sheffield working as a coachman at the Winter Street hospital. According to the 1911 census he had been married to my great grandmother Alice or Annie Cooper for 16 years. I believe she came from Dudley. I can find no record of a marriage and I don't know how, why or when great grandad came to England. 

Many thanks in advance

Hi Lois,

It appears that James Lynch's father was named Felix Lynch and a farmer from Tullycorker, Clogher, Co. Tyrone. His molther was named Bridget Corrigan. 

I have checked www.rootsireland.ie for a marriage of James. No record found.

You might check where their family were registered in England. It may indicate where the marriage took place.

I checked www.findmypast.ie for a marriage of James Lynch in Dudley. None found.

Hello

Thanks for the help - that's great. I've now traced him on the 1901 Irish census, still in Ireland and apparently single - the mystery deepens!  Like you I've been trawling through Find My Past to no avail, but I'll keep trying!

All the best

Lois
