The Kents The Williams Rottenbury Pearces The Brinds
Christopher Lynch was born in Ireland, Jane Powers in Manchester, but she was almost certainly of Irish descent. They married at St Patrick's Catholic Church in Manchester and according to their wedding certificate both their fathers (James Lynch and John Powers) were tailors. Christopher was also a tailor. Jane seems to have worked as a binder before she was married, though her occupation on the wedding certificate is hard to read. James Lynch (father of Christopher) came over to Manchester some time before 1841. He was living at 29 Cable Street with his wife (hard to read but could be Roisin?). They were both aged between 50 and 55, when the 1841 census was taken. The wife had no occupation. Christopher, then aged about 18, was already working as a tailor, as was John, 13, probably his younger brother and like Christopher born in Ireland.
