Resources for Wilson and Lynch families

[smcarberry]

I was going to provide the below information in a direct email to a Lynch descendant, but, seeing mention of Wilson in material posted by Paddy Waldron for a Stenson marriage, doing a public posting is better. These are some references that I picked up by the by while reviewing online material for other purposes.

The main building is in ruins. The service buildings at the back are intact as is the chapel.
The present owners (not Wilson-Lynchs) are very private and need to be phoned in advance if you want to visit.
David Wilson-Lynch was an improving landlord in the mid to late 1800s. He contributed to Parliamentary investigations into land tenure in Ireland and worked to improve the lot of his tenants and others in the district.

Thanks for ensuring that the Wilson-Lynch connection became known. I should add that I was providing the posted links as a supplement to a reference to Wilson-Lynch that I found a few weeks ago and had provided to the Forum member who had inquired earlier this summer about Wilson of the Belvoir model agricultural school in Kilkishen and his own relative, a Lynch who was sent from Clare to Wilson's Kilkenny property also run as an agricultural school.

Here is how I found my way to some Wilson-Lynch material:

"Lynch/Wilson Lynch (Renmore & Duras) - A Galway family who prospered in the 18th century as merchants and bankers. Patrick M. Lynch is recorded as the lessor of several townlands in the parish of Killinny, barony of Kiltartan, county Galway in 1855, formerly part of the de Basterot estate. He was also the owner of a house in the townland of Doorus Park. Patrick Lynch is also recorded as the proprietor of townlands in the parish of Duras. His agent was James Connor, of Newtown Lynch, Kinvarra. The Lynches also held Renmore on the outskirts of Galway city from the Governors of the
Erasmus Smith Schools and lands in the parish of Annaghdown, barony of Clare. Patrick Lynch married Ellen Wilson and their son John inherited his uncle's estate at Belvoir, county Clare. The family name became Wilson-Lynch. The Wilson-Lynch estate amounted to over 5000 acres in the 1870s with a further estate of over 3000 acres in county Clare. In 1906 John Wilson Lynch is recorded as the owner of about 150 acres of untenanted demesne land in the Doorus Park area where the mansion was situated.".
