I missed that opportunity to understand the Kells connection earlier. I rushed over that part in the moment and meant to get back to it later. Lesson learned to slow down and read all the documents and everything on the documents.

No, I hadn't noticed the detail of son Michael being in Ireland until this evening. Once I realized that, I looked up the civil birth registration and found that the Markey and Lynch families were within a reasonable distance of each other in Meath.

Daisypetal, Thanks for the clarification between the NY and NJ Markeys.

By noticing in the 1910 census that Patrick and Mary's oldest son Michael was born in Ireland, I was able to find Michael's 1884 civil birth registration in Kells, Meath. From there, I found Patrick and Mary's marriage registration in 1878, also in Kells, Meath.

I now have proximity -- the Markey/Murphy family was in the area where Matthew Lynch came from. But I haven't yet identified the actual connection. I'll leave that to the side for now. 

I am waiting for the death certificate from Nottinghamshire in the hopes that it will confirm or reject the premise that Matthew Lynch is the one I am looking for.

Thank you—interesting—and who knows? It could lead to a clue or connection. Matthew did serve in WWI, and he often visited the Star Tavern in London, where many celebrities also gathered.

Neale, could you tell me a little more about the Markey family you've identified? They seem to be in NJ earlier than the 1920 NY Census, which listed a small Markey family on 41st St. His obit mentions living in NJ for 40 years. The Bayonne Times, Fri, Jun 30, 1939 ·Page 2

The 1920 location syncs with the 1924 Border Crossing form, where Matthew Lynch claims an Uncle P. Markey in New York on 41st Street. US Federal Census, Patrick Marky, [transcribed with that spelling, although the written name seems to include the "e"], New York, New York, Manhattan Assembly, District 5, District 0396

I'm having trouble with attachments being too large, and I'm at work, so I can't fiddle with image sizes right now. I've just listed the sources briefly above. 
Thanks! Clare

Neale, I don't know how Lynch and Markey are linked yet either. Kells is the area my Lynch family was in. But I don't recognize Markey or Murphy.
I haven't built out the siblings (sisters) for Matthew Lynch's father's family (Laurence Lynch and Mary Farrelly).
Laurence's parents were Patrick and Julia, but I have no verified information on them yet.
I have an Owen Farrelly (no other information yet) as the father for Mary Farrelly. They are in Cavan.
I am still in the early stages of documenting the family, and am slowly building back through the generations.

Thank you, Daisy -- the census will give me context as I look into Patrick Marky and his relationship to Matthew Lynch.
I appreciate all the assistance from you, Neale, Geoff, and wilcoxon. As a newbie, please excuse any missteps as I learn to navigate this forum and community. It's long been a goal to find out when and where Matthew Lynch died and a bit more about his life. These last few days have brought me closer. I am researching what I'm learning as I await the death certificate I have requested.

This is very helpful. Thank you.
