  • Charles Lynott was a shopkeeper in Ballina , according to his marriage record dating to 1850,

    Charles married Mary Shields in the Church of Ireland, at Kilmoremoy ( Ballina)

    Both Charles and Mary are named on their son John's marriage record, which took

    place in Dublin's Pro Cathedral in1885.

    Charles Lynott 's marriage record, dating to 1850, records his father as John Lynott, whose

    occupation was writing clerk. 

    So  the rock legend's  lineage can be traced back to  Ballina in the 1850s'

  • Hi Carmel

    Have you by any chance looked further back with Charles Lynott, or could you advise how to? As a Lynott I am trying to see If there is a family link to Phil Lynotts family and mine.
    Our family also came from.the Ballina area, more precisely Rathlacken near Killala.
    I'd be interested to know if Charles Lynotts origins where similar.

    Thanks

    Michael Lynott

  • Dear Michael, if you would like to know if you are related to Phil Lynott, then you need to work out where your families may intsect. Charles and Mary Lynott had a son John Francis ( 1852-1921) and this is Phil's direct line. So, who is your ancestor that was born about 1852? It would be important to have names and dates for your own direct line. If you would like to post your email address, I will be happy to discuss. Meanwhile happy Christmas!
