Lynch (Lavally)
|
This branch of the Lynchs were able to trace their ancestors back to at least the 14th century in the town of Galway. They were transplanted during the Cromwellian settlement to lands in the barony of Dunkellin including Lavally. In 1824 Matthew Lynch of Lavally is described as a resident proprietor in county Galway. Thomas Lynch is recorded as the owner of over 500 acres in the early 1870s. The family continued to reside at Lavally until Anthony Lynch sold the estate and went to live in Australia. In 1906 Delia Mullin is recorded as the owner of Lavally House and 54 acres of untenanted demesne land.
