8 Aunt Lily thought this lady's maiden name was Crowe but various people who researched the family are sure it was Lynch.

Lily also said she was from Ardstraw but that might not have been the village, it could have been a reference to the Parish of Ardstraw which includes Glenock, Gortin and Greencastle which is the area that James French came from.

15 Could this be him or wife? (can't be both as both widowed)

James died 12 June 1865 in Muff, Co. Donegal, widower aged 79 - farmer

Rose died 15 Aug 1879 in Muff, Co. Donegal, widow aged 86 - housekeeper - James Barr present at death 
Barr, James (I332)
 
16 Death cert (1938) and burial record both state age as 72 but that can't be right as it would have left her born c1866 and only 12 at birth of her first child James (my granda). later found year of birth as 1860 from another tree on Geni by Linda Mary Houston. Also found more info on parents, grandparents and siblings.

Family: James “Jimmy” Barr / Nora Meenan (F50)
 
31 He joined the British Army at the age of 16 not long after his mum Annie died.

He was a hero who rescued victims of the Sun Flour Mill Explosion at Bow Lock in London in 1965 in which 4 people died. Here is a link to a Youtube video about the explosion, Andy is interviewed in it starting at 2:02.

His bravery was recognised by the Borough and Mayer and he was awarded the Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct. 
French, Andrew John Phillip “Andy” (I213)
 
32 James and Rose Barr as parents taken from burial record for James Barr died 12 Jan 1875 Family: James Barr / Rose Barr (F119)
 
33 John's year of birth on the Colamosca chart is hard to make out. It looks like 1866 but that can't be right as his daughter Mary was born in 1853.

What I am fairly certain is John's death certificate shows him dying in 1905 aged 62 but I think that age is an error - again, it would be too young to have fathered children from 1853 onwards.

The 1901 census shows him living with his daughter Margaret (Maggie) and her husband Daniel Boyle who registered his death; in that census, it gives his age as 70 so I have taken his correct year of birth as 1830/31 - which also matches what I think is the year of birth his wife Susanna.
