Find Ancestors

Hello.

I am trying to trace the marriage of my g,g,g grandfather Michael Lynch. I believe he was born approx 1835 and married Margaret. I do not have her surname. They had 4 children, Thomas, John, Sarah & Betsy. I have traced them through to the 1871 Census, when they were living in Whitehaven, Cumberland. He was born there.
I would really like to know Margaret's name and when they were married.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thnx
Tracy

Have you checked on freebmd ,also one of the childrens birth certs will tell you mum's maiden name

Finding one of the children's births and getting the cert would give you her maiden name and make searching for a marriage easier.

When was the first child born?

this is them on the 1881 was looking to see if any children born after the 1871 to look for a cert, Betsy seems to be the youngest one but then look at Margarets age!!

cant see any of the childrens birth reg on freebmd

Thomas's birth - again the only one I can find:

Births Jun 1861 (>99%)

LINCHEY Thomas Brockbank Whitehaven 10b 546

This is the grandson's birth info from the IGI...'submitted', so treat with caution.....but perhaps his second forename holds a clue..........

Hi All,

Thanks so much for the efforts you have made.

I wondered if her name was Brocklebank, because their first born, Thomas had the middlename of Brocklebank. This is quite unusual, I think. I know he married Jane Satterthwaite (not Hathawaite as IGI states - thx Reg) in 1881 in Houghton le Spring. I have their son, Joseph's birth cert. I can't find a Margaret Brocklebank.

How common was is for people to be registered with one name ie Linchey and then change it to another, Lynch?

I will keep digging on both Brocklebank Lynch & Linchey!

Thanks again
Tracy

Other GR members have found birth reg'ns for some of their offspring.....any one of the certs would tell you MMN.

Reg

Thanks Reggie,

Tracy
