Hi I am trying to find info on my grand parents Michael Walsh 1884 and his wife Katherine O'Neill. They lived and raised a family there until the early 70S. I have very limited info on their children and their own families in Co Wexford.
Any help would be great.

From Francis Guy's Directory of Munster 1886, 30 Manor , M Walsh, Hairdresser.

Hi Vasaborg,
Thanks for the info but no hairdressers, I think they lived around # 80 The Manor. No idea what Michael's profession was early in life but he was a night watchman in later years on the Quay. Katherine may have been a dressmaker.

Hi Lynda,
My name is maureen o'neill. I am from Waterford City. My great grandfather is James O'Neill of Whitechurch, Ballykelly, New ross, Wexford.
Noel is my neices husband. Like yourself I have researched the 1911 census. There are cousins of the O'Neill line still living in Whitechurch. His mother is Bridie O'Neill(deceased). She is my fathers sister. The O'Neill line that I am connected is through Thomas O'Neill, my Grandfather, he married Anastatia Ryan. His Father and Mother were james O'Neill and Sarah Power. With reference to a previous post by you, I am interested to know who were the O'Neills who married who were supposedly first cousins? In your post to Noel you mentioned that you are from Waterford and have family living in Waterford. Where in Waterford are you from?
I see by a previous post by you that you are interested in knowing who Sarah O'Neill(sister to your Grandmother Katie o'Neill) married. I am not sure of his first name. I think it may be Andy. His surname is Quinn. They married and lived in Waterford.
Our great Grand parents are buried in a grave yard next to Kilmokee Gardens not far from Whitechurch. I am unsure of the exact name of the grave yard.
I hope you find this information useful.
Regards
Maureen

Dear Maureen,
Good to hear from you, as you can see from the message board some of what you sent was deleted, so if you can email me at (*) we can cover the living part of the family. Noel has made some great discoveries, info I thought I'd never see.
Looking forward to hearing from you again via email.
Enjoy the weekend,
Your cousin Lynda

Hi Lynda,
I have just received a copy of my g g grandparents marriage certificate. They were married on 1st June 1884 in St Johns Church in Waterford.
Ellen Walsh was 22 yrs old in 1884 & from Manor. Her father was William Walsh, a fisherman.
I'm not sure if this information ties into anything you have found out about your Walshs, but maybe..
Moinear :)

Hi Moinear,
Thank you for the info, my grandparents must have moved into 80 Manor St. some time after 1911. I know they were living at home still in the census, but most lightly married in Ballykelly. Wexford. I believe that there was another Walsh family in the Manor also, this must be yours. As far as I know my Walsh's were farmers from Co. Kilkenny. I will file away your info in case something connects us down the road.
Many thanks,
Lynda
