James S. Lynch

James Spencer Lynch (1841 – July 22, 1894) was a Manitoba physician and political figure.

He represented Marquette in the 1st Canadian Parliament from March 2, 1871 to July 8, 1872 as a Liberal member.

[1] He was born near London in Canada West in 1841, studied at the University of Toronto[2] and came to Manitoba in 1868.

Both Lynch and Angus McKay represented Marquette in the House of Commons, due to a tie vote in the by-election held after Manitoba joined Confederation.

In 1886, the Board was replaced by Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba and Lynch again served as president.
