That sounds good Del.

I have checked on Ancestry and the Colonial Secretary's Papers only go up to 1825, wouldn't you just know it.

Cheers

Del,

For some general background info on the "Red Rover" search http://trove.nla.gov.au/ during August 1832 mostly in the Sydney Monitor and Sydney Morning Herald.

Also Sydney Morning Herald on 10 January 1916 for funeral notice of Catherine Bulger (nee Lynch), this lists many of the related family.

Also Sydney Morning Herald on 17 May 1904 for death notice of Elizabeth Cox (nee Lynch).

Cheers
Les

That's a pity about the email address.

If you have an Ancestry account I am lestobin151.

The tree with Mary Gunny and all the Lynch's is Fish Family Tree#1

Hi All,

I have only just found this post and have been very interested in the comments and hypotheses put forward. I too am related to Mary Gunny, she is my paternal 3rd great grandmother, I am a descendant of Denis Lynch b 1836.  I think I may have corresponded with Annette before via Ancestry. Like you, I have been trying to work out the various relationships and children that Mary had after her arrival on the Red Rover. I was very interested to read the book "Fair Game" by Elizabeth Rushen & Perry McIntyre and see the comments about Mary.

I'm happy to share the few transcripts certificates of Mary's children and Sydney Morning Herald notices if anyone is interested.

Could I ask you for the source of Mary's application to put her children into the orphanage? 

Cheers
Les Tobin
