There has been some incredible research over the past few weeks. Thanks to all who have contributed. It looks like Alan has found a new distant cousin (5th cousin one generation removed) with common ancestors in Rev'd William Lynar Fawcett and wife Grace Mills.

Re Alfred Lynar. I had him as a potential connection to my tree as the son of Rowland A F Lynar never thinking his father may have been the Revd Lynar. Alfred married Martha Jemphrey as shown in the census returns and they had 4 children Roland, David, Hugh and Alfred. There was another child Edward born to Alfred's first wife Jane Surgener (married 5 Aug 1878) born 27 Dec 1878. Edward is not with his father on census night 1901, perhaps with his mother Jane. Edward marries Hannah Taylor in 1909 and moves out of the Flora St address. Alfred and his sons work at the ship yard Harland and Wolff in Belfast where the Titanic was completed in 1912.
David married Rachel Bennett and had 4 children, Roland (Roly),Alfred Edgar, Hugh, and Monica.
Roland (Roly) died August 2007 as reported in the Belfast Telegraph and is survived by his daughter whom I tried to find without success. There is a photo of him in a Freemason journal "The Banner" March 2003 Issue 2 page 12.
Hugh and Monica may have travelled to Canada in 1957. Dont know if they emigrated.

Thankyou gaffy and aghadowey for your research although I am a bit supprised to read that Revd Lynar may have had an affair or secret relationship from at least 1860 to 1870. I am also supprised to read in gaffa's last post, a newspaper extract dated 14 August 1869, stating that Eliza Glover had taken her 3 children to Whitehead and left them with Mr Eslar a Warden. Was he the C of I church warden? Axlehurn's suposition that Eliza was Revd Lynar's housekeeper seems plausible but is not proved. Nor is there any proof that Revd Lynar fathered one or all of the Glover children. It is clear that Eliza Glover had known Revd Lynar but when he prepared his will on 19 May 1869 he made no provision for Eliza Glover nor her children. In fact he left all his estate to his mother, and if she died before him, then to his next of kin. His next of kin would have been his wife and children if they could prove a marriage. As he never married his estate would have been passed on to his brothers Roland Alexander Fawcett Lynar and Edward Alexander Fawcett Lynar. Roland was a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary for a time then emigrated to USA and Edward joined the military in South Africa. I don't think Revd Lynar had a large estate as the Registry of Deeds Memorial Transcriptions appear to show that the rents and tithes from his parish were claimed by James Campbell solicitor in payment of a debt. See 1860.25.193 8/10/1860,1862.33.18 2/9/1862, 1863.22.64 22/6/1863, 1867.3.296 31/1/1867, 1868.8.93 1/3/1868. Will proved showing effects under 450 pounds. Was this before debtors claim? However his estate would have inherited his mothers estate.
It appears from the above memorial transcriptions that the Revd had no money to support a family and unfortunatly Eliza received no sympathy from the press. I am interested in reading the full newspaper articles and hearing further research. Life was difficult in those times.

Another character in my tree Lt. Col David Lynar Fawcett had a liasion with Elizabeth Neale and fathered a child out of wedlock. David later married Anne Frances Porter and had children. He made provision in his will for Elizabeth Neale's girl Clara Elizabeth Neale. He is known for being murdered in one of the last pistol duels in England in 1843.

Daniel Mills, son of Richard and Elizabeth, married Eleanor (Elinor) Goggin (Coggin) at St Johns Dublin 21 Nov 1757. I dont have a reference unfortunatly. Eleanor died in 1825 aged 85 years indicating she may have been born around 1740. She lived in upper Baggot St Dublin and was the mother of the late Dr Daniel Mills King of Kingston, Co Wicklow. Reference Freemans 4/1/1825 page 4. I have no knowledge of an earlier marriage nor of a Williams connection. I thought he was a similar age to Eleanor. I was not aware that he died in 1779. Have you got a reference for that. Trinity College Dublin records show that Daniel Mills junior (ie Daniel Mills King) was admitted in 1786 aged 16, son of Daniel who's occupation was Medicus. Daniel Mills King ended up as President of the College of Physicians in 1807 and had a son also Daniel who graduated from TCD. It was not untill 1812 that Daniel Mills inherited Kingston from Thomas King and added King to his name.

Hi, Yes my daughter tried to locate the house in 2012 but found it had been demolished for a new housing estate.
