Hi again Liz and all the other kind helpers,
I have now checked Brian LAWSON'S site for a burial of a John or a James LYNCHEY/LYNCHY/LYNCH/ MUCKALARNEY and although from what Pat has sent me "his" body was recovered I can find no burial.
I need my "IT Consultant" (Uni student grandson) to "assist" me in enlarging some of the documents that I have received but I have enough info to know that an inquest/enquiry was held, perhaps I will find something of his parents.
I suppose that just as in OZZ people "forgot about their transported ancestors", now it is a matter of some pride to have a transported convict in the family and fortunately they maintaned such good records here, including BDM's full of detail on colonial connections, so that they could control them, that at least as far back as the trial we can get a fairly good picture.
Cheers
Peter
