Thanks to Sean O'Corra I have been able to put up this page for the Lynch family who emigrated to Tasmania. This family is that of Bernard (Barney) Lynch who was the first son of my GGG Grandfather, Bernard Lynch. His mother was Mary McMahon and she died in 1817 in Kibberidogue, Roslea, Co. Fermanagh. Bernard was a half brother of my GG Grandfather, Patrick Lynch (m. to Anne Flanagan).

The photos and news clippings below were provided by Sean O'Corra.

First are two pages documenting Bernard's passage to Tasmania. You can see from this that it was a long voyage, 11 days short of 4 months in total.

Here are details of the passenger records for the passage of Bernard Lynch and his wife.

Below is the family of Francis Austin Lynch and his wife Mary Curry.

One of Francis Austin Lynch and Mary Curry's children was Francis Bernard Lynch (pictured below), who married Eva Alice May Goold.
