The name, Lynch, appears frequently even in earlier New Brunswick. There was an Andrew Lynch age 10-years in Petersville Parish, Queens Co., NB in 1871. His parents were Timothy (60) and Ellen (45) Lynch. Siblings, all born in NB, were Daniel (24), Alexander (22), Mary (20), Terrance (18), Michael (16), Timothy (14), Thomas (12), Luke (8) ‘Unice’ (6), Ellen (4) and James (2). See:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nbqueens/Pete-71-7.htmBoth parents were born Ireland but that is assuming that the census is correct in all details. This is actually unlikely. For example, in Petersville Parish in 1881, Timothy has only aged 5-years in 10-years, and is now age 65. Ellen (55) is now b. NB. Children were Daniel (33), ‘Terence’ (27), Michael (26), Timothy (24), Thomas (22), Andrew (20), Luke (18), Eunice (11). James (13) Teresa (10) and Patrick (7) with the family is Ann McKenna (82), b. Ireland, a widow and a pauper; possibly taken in and paid for by the parish but also possible Ellen, Sr.’s mother.
Eunice Lynch (ca. 1866) married 5JUN1888 John O’Neill. See:
http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/VISSE/141B7.aspx?culture=en-CA...She gave her parents as Timothy Lynch and Helen McGowen. Amongst Scots particularly, Helen and Ellen were pretty much the same name.
At:
http://www.rubycusack.com/issue320.htmlthis Andrew is identified as the same that you seek.
Mary, the daughter b. ca. 1851, appears to be the same at:

http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/VISSE/141C5.aspx?culture=en-CA...and gives her mother as Ellen MacGowan.
The 1861 census of Petersville Parish is partially at:
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1861/jpg/4108520_00344....here, Ellen’s mother is ‘Unis’ McGowan (ca. 1781) and another son is ‘Cormick’ (Cormac or Cormack?; probably the ‘Cornelius’ Lynch b. ca. 1849, d. Petersville Parish 1JAN1903) Lynch (ca. 1849). Other children at the time were Daniel (14), Mary Jane (10), Terence (8), Michael (6), Timothy (4), Thomas (2) and Andrew (8 months). The NB census for 1861 was collected beginning 15AUG1861, so this would mean that Andrew was b. ca. DEC1860-JAN1861. This is inconsistent with other data (MAR1865 in 1900, ca. 1863 in 1910, ca. 1868 in 1920), but otherwise, I cannot find an Andrew Lynch that otherwise comes even close. In spite of:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=11...it appears he was alive in 1861.
At:
http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.canada.novasco...‘Petersburg’ obviously means Petersville Parish. This is more clearly stated at:
http://www.thestewartsinireland.ie/coollattin-estate/ Eunice McGowan may have been a widow of Daniel McGowan who petitioned for land in Queens Co., NB in 1826, 1829, 1830 (with Patrick McGowan and Michael McGraw) and in 1860. Another possibility is Patrick McGowan (1826, 1830, 1839 and 1860). Daniel seems more likely as he and Eunice seem buried together as at:
