Hello folks.  GerryM of Wisconsin here.  New to this site.

I have Sarah Ann Dynes b.1840 d.1925 Clontyclay married Henry Quinn b.1831 d. 1903 Aughamullan.

Have the Quinn side back one more generation.  Nothing on the Dynes.  Does anyone have Sarah Ann?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi, Gerry,
I've been away from Rootschat for a while, so sorry it's taken a while to respond.  This has been a great thread for me and my tentative first steps with the DYNES.  Some extremely helpful people on here, too...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi again, Everyone,
Just an update on here after 18 months or so of silence, but I was yesterday contacted privately by someone directly descended from the DYNES family of Bluestone, so perhaps I might get some kind of joy now with finding a forename for the "Miss DYNES" who married my direct ancestor in 1750...

Hi Keith,

Good to hear from you and I hope you do get a break-through with your line.

Let us know how it goes.

Thought this snippet from the Craigavon Historical Society may interest you:

Family Names in Lurgan
by P. Creery

From Review - Journal of the Craigavon Historical Society Vol. 1 No. 1

In leases dated about 1624, we find such Irish names as Owen O'Neale, Shane McAlinden, Murtagh McAtananey, Donnell McCawhelly, and, naturally, the inevitable McCanns. After the Williamite wars of 1689-91, we find that these Irish tenants were replaced by English tenants with names like Wilson, Turkington, Irwin, Patterson, Dynes and Robbs.

All the best,
Gail

Hi again, Gail,
All very interesting...and the gentleman who spoke to me on Sunday told me about a book entitled "Methodism in Portadown" written by a William J. Green, published in 1960 at the cost of 6 shillings.  There's a fleeting reference there to my ancestor James KERSHAW.
I'm also writing to another man suggested by the out-of-the-blue phonecaller who apparently knows a good deal about the DYNES family from the early days in Armagh, so suddenly things are beginning to move a little!

That's all good news, Keith. Do keep us posted.

Scotmum,
Well, having read through for the umpteenth time the work-in-progress on my ancestor James KERSHAW, b. 1725 d. 1790, I've come across what could be a significant marriage in Gainsborough, Lincs, in 1783 on the IGI for a Mary KERSHAW and a Richard BEAL.  Gainsborough was where James settled for a while after leaving the Methodist ministry, and this Mary KERSHAW could well be his daughter, born in Armagh c.1750, and who it is known came to England some time after 1770 to rejoin her father.  Richard BEAL was a shopkeeper from Sheffield, and well-known in Methodist circles.
So, the "Miss DYNES" might be a Mary DYNES...

Came across this transcription from Seagoe Parish Records and thought of you:

Baptism on 1/2/1839
Ellen of Hugh O'NEILE and Mary HEWITT
Sponsor: Mary Ann DYNES

and also a Birth on 24/1/846

Felix of Hugh O'NEILL and Mary HEWITT, 24/01/1846
Sponsors: John DYNES and Rose DYNES

Scotmum,
So what exactly is the significance of the term: "Sponsor" in these two very interesting cases...?
By the way I was at the Society of Genealogists for a short while on Tuesday, and came across that 1783 marriage entry I mentioned above for Gainsborough.
There was another one, too, in 1787 for a Jane KERSHAW and an Edward SMITH.  So perhaps another daughter of my ancestor James KERSHAW who might possibly fit the bill...
