• Notes

  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.
