This amazing man was William Carter LYNCH, he was a member of the police constabulary in Ireland in the 1800’s and he immigrated with his wife Bridget to Australia where he
became a NSW police officer in Goulburn. He served in Goulburn as an Inspector General for twenty years and then as an Inspector at Cooma and Temora and then a Superintendent at Newcastle and retired in 1902 (don’t quote me on exact dates) when he retired.

He passed away at the age of 84 years on the 30th June 1923 and was buried in Goulburn. His wife Bridget and two of his brothers share his family plot in the cemetery at Goulburn.

Bridget died on 13 March 1903? aged 68.

EX-SUPERINTENDENT LYNCH.

GOULBURN, Monday. ( 2 July )

The death occurred on Saturday night, at the age of 85 years, of ex-Police Superintendent William Carter Lynch. The late Mr. Lynch was one of the veteran police officers of the New South Wales force, having joined in the early ‘sixties ( 1860’s ). He was stationed at Goulburn for about twenty years, and in the ‘eighties ( 1880’s ) was promoted to the rank of sub-inspector, and was transferred to Cooma and then to Temora. Later, he assumed charge of Newcastle, where he remained until his retirement as superintendent 22 years ago. The deceased officer was awarded the decoration of the Imperial Service Order in recognition of his services shortly after his retirement. He is survived by six sons and three daughters, Misses Birdie and Julia Lynch, of Goulburn, Mrs. Theo Sheehy, of Young, and Messrs. Richard (Customs Department), James, and William (Newcastle), Chris. (Mandurama), Maurice (Summer Hill), and Joe (secretary of the Pastures Protection Board, Goulburn).

The Interment took place at the Kenmore Cemetery yesterday, the Rev. Father Cahill, assisted by Fathers Athanatius and Linus, officiating at the graveside.

He died on 2 May 1915. His NOK was his mother, Mrs K Bourke, 90 Coventry Drive, Dennistown, Glasgow. I am looking to see if his name appears somewhere on a local war memorial or cenotaph where his family is from. Mel

Midweek Roundup

BY ‘ Theo’

DETECTIVES Bob Shankleton and Rod Coulter, of Granville, are trying hard ” to catch up ” with a smash grab gang of jewellery thieves who are ” cleaning up ” big in their area.

Last week the thieves robbed a shop at Berala — 20 minutes later it was ” ditto ” to Goldman’s Store at Merrylands, then on to Westmead where jewellery was ” lifted ” from Kinsella’s shop. Although Bob and Rod ” missed out ” on a catch they recovered one portable radio taken from Goldman’s. It bounced out of the car the gang was using and was smashed on the roadway.

POLICE PUZZLED BY BLAST IN SHOP

Beat flames with hands

Intensive police inquiries are being made into the cause of a blast which wrecked a Merrylands Road, milk bar and grocery shop, last week.

The line of their inquiries indicate that the blast could have been caused by malicious burning.

Parramatta detectives, who are in charge of inquiries will call in a special detail of the C.I.B. Arson Squad, if evidence now collected does not shed any light on the origin of the fire. The section of Merrylands Road where the shop is located was rocked by a loud explosion in the early hours of Tuesday morning, October 8. The explosion was followed by a cloud of smoke, and fire broke out shortly after. An early estimate set the damage of the explosion at £10,000.

Police said the fire was first discovered by a brother of the proprietor of the shop, Joseph Areana, who tried to beat out the flames with his bare hands.

Burns

He suffered severe burns to his hands and body as he tried vainly to save the shop from entire destruction. He was later admitted to Parramatta Hospital, where he was detained for treatment and observation. Detectives Coulter and Nolan, who are in charge of inquiries, this week said the cause of the explosion was not yet known. They said they had several avenues of investigation and would make a report to Police Headquarters within a few days. A senior detective said every care was being taken to preserve clues and valuable information had been collected for scientific examination.

(Continued on Page 11)

Picture above shows wreckage in the interior of the Merrylands store after the blast.

SHOP BLAST (Cont. from Page 1)

He said the force of the explosion had blasted the metal door of the shop more than 50 feet across Merrylands Road. The fire had engulfed the shop in a matter of minutes and had destroyed stock, furniture and fittings insured for more than £5.000.

Two adjoining shops, an optometrists’ and a cafe, were also damaged. Heat from the blaze distorted sections of a metal awning and melted a plastic neon sign. The business premises next to the blasted shop also suffered, due to the explosion.

It was reported today that at 8ft. intervals the walls show signs of serious cracking.

Experts believe that had the blast occurred during normal trading hours, loss of life would inevitably have resulted.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163735141/19461883#

Rod Coulter had married in 1985 and, at that time, was no longer a member of NSW Police Force.

It is believed that he has left the Police Force in the late 1970’s – early 1980’s.

Prior to leaving the Police Force, it is also believed that he had been shot during an arrest and had also been run over by the vehicle driven by the criminal.  Rod was in hospital for 3 weeks and received 27 sutures.

After leaving the Police, it is believed he bought a couple of Pubs and Bottle Shop around Sydney and Kempsey.
