Denis Lynch was born about 1836 in Ballingarry, this comes from his army records which I have. He joined the army in 1855, first as a volunteer then in 1856 full time.
He married Susanna Crees in Stoke Dameral in 1862, on the marriage certificate gives his father as Thomas, farm labourer.
Denis went to the Channel Islands and I have the details from there until he died 13 August 1899 in Devonport. He came out of the army in 1879.
Struggling to find his birth/baptism, did find one that gave his mother as Maria Boyce but I feel this is another Denis.
Can give more details of wife and children if needed but I'm trying to find birth, baptism, mother, siblings if possible.
Any help as brickwork has been hit.
Many thanks for any help.

Thank you, is St Michael's Limerick Ballingarry?

St. Michael's is Limerick city - there are two separate Catholic parishes named Ballingarry one in county Limerick to the south of the county and the other to the east of co. Tipperary.

It's definitely Ballingarry Limerick but unfortunately the dates I need 1835 to 1837 aren't available online.

I've re read his army papers and on 24th January 1879 it states he was 43 years and 11 months. So his birth must be February 1835? And this date for Ballingarry isn't online unless I'm just not finding them

I've looked through marriages in Ballingarry for father Thomas. Can see 2, 20 August 1827 and the other 19 February 1828.
I'm not great at reading old writing. Can I post anywhere to get them transcribed?

I've actually managed to read the names
20th August 1827 Domina Aheren
19th February 1828 Catherine Roche
Possibility of it being Catherine as Denis named his eldest daughter Catherine. How can I confirm which marriage is right when baptisms are online for 1835?

Do you know parents names of Denis' wife?
The Lynch/Roche marriage entry one witness is named Gulielmus Roche - possible father/brother of Catherine maybe
Denis also had a son named William
