Afternoon all

Please could anyone with knowledge of Northern Ireland be able to help me with a place... LYNN or similar spelling.

Does it still exist or has had it's name changed over the years.

Regards

Unless you have the name wrong, Lynn is in County Westmeath (Leinster Province) so not Northern Ireland.

If you are sure it is in N Ireland where have you seen it mentioned? As you say, it could be something similar.

Hi Mark, he's in Allerton, Liverpool?

I don't think that word is Lynn - it looks like Tyrone to me.

Yes Co Tyrone he is listed in 1911 census in Liverpool. He married in 1877 in Kingston Surrey to Adeline Isabel Miller if you need to ord cert to find his fathers name. Child Percy Miller Patterson b 1890 Liverpool mother Miller.

All children in 1891 census have mother surname Miller

Co. Tyrone has lots of sub districts for a better word.
