Hello,

I'm trying to find Birth/Baptism records for my 2xGreat Grandmother Nora M. Lynch.  While the Lynch family lived in Morley's Bridge, County Kerry, all accounts (family & 1901 Ireland Census) have both her and her mother, Margaret Kelleher, being born in Ballyvourney (Nora being  born on 13th of June 1886).  How might I go about hunting down birth records from Ballyvourney?  I've searched the Ireland Birth Records and found ALL 7 of her siblings who were born in Kilgarvan, but none for Nora or her brother John Lynch who were born in Ballyvourney and Cork City, respectively.

Thank you in advance for any help you may offer! - Michael

 

In the meantime, here's are a few things I can add based on my great grandfather's records.

-  Nora M. Lynch was born to John Humphrey Lynch and Margaret Keleher on 13th of June 1886.

-The 1901 Ireland Census Nora's mother Margaret was born around 1846, also in Ballyvourney, Co. Cork.  

- My great grandfather's sister Rita Shea visited Ballyvourney with her Aunt Hannah Lynch (Nora's sister) in 1927 and mentioned that Margaret had already passed away by then.

- I have a newspaper clipping  that mentions Nora's brother, John Lynch, was imprisoned in Ballykinlar for 10 months for his involvement in the IRA. I don't have the date of the article.

 

Thanks again!
