Lynch-Blosse baronets


The Lynch, later Lynch-Blosse Baronetcy, of Galway, is a title in the Baronetage of Ireland. It was created on 8 June 1622 for Henry Lynch, member of an Anglo-Norman family, one of the merchant Tribes of Galway. Both he and the second Baronet represented Galway in the Irish House of Commons.
The third Baronet was a Baron of the Court of Exchequer, but was forced to flee to France after the Glorious Revolution. Nonetheless his eldest son succeeded to the title and estates. The family seat was Athavallie House, Castlebar, County Mayo.
The sixth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Blosse, having married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Francis Barker, heir of Tobias Blosse. The seventh Baronet also served in the Irish House of Commons representing Tuam.
The current, 17th, baronet is a medical doctor, working as a general practitioner in Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire.
