Title: Lynskey/Durkan
Post by: Trilobite on Wednesday 12 September 07 22:00 BST (UK)

I am looking for any information regarding Thomas Lynskey born County Mayo c1847. His marriage certificate indicates his father was Henry Lynskey, a farmer. Thomas married Mary Durkin/kan (from Killasser, Swinford, County Mayo - her father was Martin Durkin/kan) in Bradford, Yorkshire in 1867.

Thomas appears on the English census records in 1871 and indicates he is from County Mayo. He must have moved to England/be in transit between 1861 and 1871. His wife Mary moved to Bradford with her family from Mayo between 1861 and 1864.

If anyone has any information I will be very grateful.

Regards,

Caroline
