MarkSmith on 2016-03-10 18:36:25Good Morning Hayseed,
My wife is a descendant of the McCormicks of Hay and I have done some research and also traced the McCormicks back to Lynch and Shanahan families. I always thought it probable that the two Lynchs were brothers and married the two Shanahan sisters, but never managed to find out what happened to Patrick Lynch (who married Bridget Shanahan). I am happy to share what information I have with you.
Regards,

MarkSmith on 2019-06-16 00:36:33Just a quick update on this thread. I have since found that the Patrick Lynch who married Bridget Shanahan in 1862 died on 2 Jun 1885 in East Brighton. VIC BDM death reg.6365/1885 lists his mother as Ellen Reynolds, his age as 56 and his spouse as Bridget Shanaghan. Given an age of 56, he was born about 1830 (no indication of where).
Given age and mother's name it is quite likely that Patrick Lynch and Phillip Lynch were likely not brothers (Irish records indicate that Philip did indeed have an older brother named Patrick but born in 1808), but they still may have been related in some way.
More to work on!

A magisterial inquiry was held on Wednesday, belore Mr. J. Jordan, J.P., respecting the death of Patrick Lynch, a very old resident of the shire of Moorabbin, who died suddenly on the previous day. A verdict of death from heart disease was recorded.
South Bourke and Mornington Journal, Wed 10 June 1885
A magisterial inquiry was held, on Wednesday before Mr. J. Jordan, J.P.,
concerning the death of Patrick Lynch, a very old resident of East Brighton, who expired suddenly at his residence on the North road on the previous day. Annie Reid deposed that on the 2nd of June she brought to the deceased, who was her uncle, some milk about mid-day. Witness knocked at the front door, but receiving no answer, turned to go home again.
When passing the stable she saw her uncle laying down with his head just
outside the door. Being frightened she immediately ran and told her mother, and both returned and endeavored to revive deceased, but he never rallied or spoke. With assistance they carried him to his bedroom.
—Hannah Reid, the mother of the previous witness, stated that at noon
of the 2nd inst. her daughter told her she thought her uncle was dying, and
they found him in the position described by her daughter. Robert Scarlett, a
neighbor, helped them to carry the corpse into the house. Witness then sent for Doctor Anderson Irwin and the police. -
Robert Scarlett, a laborer, residing in the Shire of Moorabbin, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness.
—Doctor Irwin, a duly qualified medical practitioner, residing at Caulfield, said the body of deceased was that of a well-nourished man. There were no external marks or signs of violence. Upon opening the chest he found clots of blood in the pericardium, with a large rupture opposite the aortic valve, and there were also small bony [??ercles] on the aorta. The heart was enlarged, and there were indications of fatty degeneration. The other organs were in a healthy state. The cause of death was rupture of the aorta.
—A verdict of death from heart disease was recorded.

MarkSmith on 2019-06-21 07:33:51Hi Janilye,
Thanks for the follow-up information. Indeed it was the Age article on the inquiry that lead me to partly sorting this out. I followed up on Annie Reid's relation to the deceased Patrick Lynch and found her mother Johanah (or Hannah) was a "missing" sibling to Ellen and Bridget Shanahan from Hayseed's first posting above.
Are you also researching this family?
