Hi Tom
My source of imformation is a Carew family tree that was passed on to my Mother about
fifty years ago, her maiden name was Carew.
I cannot at this stage confirm if Edward Lynn was the son of Lynn & Jane Carew, or if
Lynn was twice married., There is nothing as yet to discount the possibility. I have a
copy of birth certificate of son (born in Australia) of Edward Lynn And Helen Louisa
Carew nee Turner which puts Edwards birthplace as Dublin, Ireland, born 1849/50.
I will be visiting the National Archive in Dublin naxt week to see what I can learn from
them. I know they have a reference to the will of Lynn Carew ( d.1873) which mentions
Bessie Christina Carew, spinster.
One more thing, there is mention of a Woodenstown, Co.Tipperary which appears in the
family tree. I live in Co. Cork, Ireland which is the next County and have yet to find
anyone who has heard of Woodensrown. Do you have any info. on this place? Is it a town or
the name of a house?
