I'm looking to trace details of William Walsh died circa 1939. Believe buried Church of Ireland Parish of Dunboe, Articlave
-
Hi.
I have a William Walsh b. Articlave 5th September, 1886 d. Antrim 31st. December, 1939. He would have been my first cousin, once removed.
What information are you looking for?
-
I believe that this William Walsh may be my grandfather. My late father was born in the townland of Leitrim near Stranocum (Ballymoney, Co. Antrim) in 1930 and I think that his father died in Holywell Hospital (Antrim) in 1939.
I think my grandfather had two families and my father was of the second family. I'd like to know more about my grandfather, exactly where his grave is and his first family.
Thank you for your response. I believe your cousin may well be my grandfather.
Would you like to discuss further?

Yes, though I know there were two marriages but I only know of four children in the first and one in the second.
Perhaps you'd like to contact me by email (*)

Hi I believe the William Walsh you are searching for is my great grand father. I know he died in an institution. He was married to a Rachael Platt and lived in Articlave. They had children Elizabeth ( my granny) Hessie and John. I would be interested to find out the information you have.

Hi, I believe we are talking about the same person. Your great grandfather was my grandfather. William died in Antrim Mental Hospital on 1/1/1940 having been there from September 1938.
He lived at Leitrim near Ballymoney from 1930 (at least).
He had 3 children to my grandmother, William (b.5/10/1923), James (b.14/3/1928) and Edward (my late father b.30/8/1930).
Would you like to discuss further by email?
