Hugh was aged 32 on that census - so born c1879?
Married c1902; and has brother-in-law John O'Kane in the house.
In 1901 he is also in Bruslee, age 26, with an Ellen Walsh (24). Maybe a sister, as both are unmarried.

Hi,
According to the marriage record the father's name was Arthur. The family search site shows an Arthur Walsh and a Margaret Duffin registered a son, Hugh in Broughshane ,Ballymena but the date was 8 Mar 1869. The site also shows a Hugh WELSH born to Arthur Welsh and Margaret McAlister also in Ballymena on 11 Mar 1876. The marriage for this Hugh and Margaret gives the name as WALSH. The marriages for both Arthur Walsh/welsh took place in Roman Catholic churches.

Hi Guys thanks for what you have sent me.
KGarrad Your Hugh ties up with what I found out he was born 1877ish Ellen Could be his sister.
kingskerswell I will go with the second pairing as Hugh was born 1877/79 and died 1958 in Scotland, and had a son named Hugh who died in Scotland.
how does find out about the leaving Ireland to go to Scotland.

No records were kept of people travelling between Ireland and Scotland, England and wales as all were part of the U.K.

Hi,
MF Gilbert is correct. If you look closely at the 1911 census Form A you can see that the brother-in-law is O'?awe. On 19 May 1902 Hugh Walsh married Margaret O'Rawe in Glenravel R.C. Church. Fathers' names were Arthur Walsh and John O'Rawe.

Jock,
After 1864 all births in Ireland had to be recorded (registered) in a local registry office.

The 3rd child (1904) was registered Broughshane sub-district (also under Ballymena district).
The 4th child (1905) was registered in Glenwhirry sub-district (under Ballymena district).
The 5th child (1908), mother O'Raw, was registered in Doagh sub-district (under Antrim district)
