Hi Ted159 and hello Cousin . We are definitely related .My dad was Dan McGinnis but we are related through my mother - Susan Lynch ( not your Aunt Susan ) . Your dad James and my mum were first cousins . I met your dad many times . The Cardowan club being one of their favourite haunts . I have your grandad Patrick's birth certificate . I would like to give you my email address but not sure how to do that privately . Your grandad and my grandad were half brothers . Same father but different mothers . It's a long story . I am happy to share all the information I have gained over a period of years . I still meet up with your cousin Phyllis from time to time . If you know how to private message me could you do that this evening please . Themacmo .

Hi Anthony, I believe I am related to you.  Your grandad Patrick, may have been my uncle Patrick.  I came to the forum by chance, looking for birth details for both Sarah Jane Lynch nee Henderson who married Patrick Lynch and saw your post. I have their marriage cert from 1904.  They are my grandparents, your great grandparents, but died before I was born, I believe. I am hoping to find a birth date and birth cert and possibly a Scottish death date and death cert for either.  Your grandad, my uncle Patrick, had a sister Susan and brother John whom you mention.  Uncle Patrick had another brother, James (my father), another brother, Philip, a sister, Mary Ann, another sister, Sarah (Cissie) - I think she was my aunt tho she may just have been a family friend we called auntie - and possibly more but I don't have any other info.   My uncle Patrick lived in Airdrie, Scotland with my auntie Margaret and they were by far the nicest of my aunts or uncles.  They were so kind and generous even though they had hardly a bean to their name.  Their children were Esther, Peter, John and maybe a Cyril and maybe another Patrick and possibly more but we are going back some.  One of the boys, Peter I think, had six fingers on each hand(!!!) so if he's one of your relations then so am I.   My father, James (your great uncle) had three girls and a boy but sadly only a girl and boy (me) are still alive.  Happy to virtual chat with you here or on (*) Cheers.
