There is a little more information on Alfred Lynar in the RAMC record

Without a great deal of information I have always wondered if Elizabeth was a housekeeper for The rector, given that he was living with his mother who was some 20 years older than him.  I did try to get the financial records for the period to see if there was payment made to a housekeeper but unfortunately the local records were lost in a fire in the church and C of I in Dublin couldn't help either as their records went up in flames in 1922 of thereabouts. Thanks the great work by both Aghadowey and Gaffy I think we can safely say that the rector was Olivia's father.  There is only one problem that I see.  Olivia died in RVH 13/07/1928 and is recorded as being 55 which would make her birth in 1873.
Personally I'm not to worried about this, as declared ages can change dependant on circumstances and the general lack of records.
I suppose there might be a way to "prove" the relationship if someone in the Dublin Lyner's were to take a DNA test along with myself (I'm the only one left and none to follow on)

I've found a new Lynar.  There was an infants death registered in 28/04/1870 For a Jonathon Joseph Lynar, and the address given is Antrim Street Carrickfergus.
Unfortunately I can't decipher the name of the father or mother in the written text.  I'm trying to find who was living in Antrim street at that time, without a lot of success

Have not looked at this for some time, and will need to dig out my records, but from memory he was listed as her father on her marriage record.  Mother was not listed.  I will get back to you soon as I can dig out the record

I have a record of the marriage from Ancestry Ireland, that give her name as Olivia Jane Lynar so I think that bit is correct.  The Elizabeth Lynar could have been her mother.  Was she married to Rev William Lynar of Islandmagee.

According to the Methodist Church Archives :-

"The Rev William King Lynar was a Church of Ireland clergyman b. circa 1818 in Dublin. Made a deacon in 1845 and became rector of Islandmagee from 1849-70.
He was son of Capt William Wainwright Lynar, 18th R Irish Regiment.
Died 21 Apr 1870 aged 51 at Whitehead, County Antrim" 

My problem is the Rector needs a wife, Elizabeth would have been 29 or thereabouts when he died and if Olivia was born in 1866 or thereabouts this would fit

They eventually lived at 30 Clara Street Belfast but Edmund John Costley gave an address as 51 Bread Street on the wedding record

Hello Monica
Working on that
My grand mother was Oilvia Jane Lynar, whos father was given at the wedding as Rev. William Lynar (rector)  The only one I can trace is William a CoI Rector in Islandmagee who died in 1870.  The wedding was in 1899, and I cannot find a connection.  If he was single (Ooops) if he was married he may well have died shortly after her birth.  It would have made her 29 at least when she married, and thats not unreasonable.  Haven't found her death notice yet.

this is my problem.

Looking at a wedding record showing Olivia Jane marrying my grandfather and her father was recorded as William Lynar, Rector (deceased??) No mothers name was recorded.

Yes, this is an wholly Irish trace on this side of the family.  A move would probably be a better place to be.

Thanks
