Hi Noela:
I saw your post here and I thought that I would reply. I have made some progress on my own research with my McNamaras from Tyredagh. I used the transcribed baptism register and checked who my great-x3 grandfather stood for as a baptismal sponsor. It appears that the McNamaras and the Lynches were connected as they were siblings (parents). I’m wondering if this would help with your own research. I see that Mrs. Mary Lynch is a baptismal sponsor for one of the children of Patrick and Mary. It might help with our figuring out our own connection? Let me know what you think.
All the best,
Jane
