Hi,
Does anyone have any knowledge of Thomas and Bridget Walsh(nee Hennessy) from Ladywell in Thomastown.  My great grandmother Ellen Walsh was born in Ladywell on 4 Nov 1850.  Thomas' parents names were Edward and Winifred Walsh (nee Fitzgibbon). Ellen was the 7th child out of a total of 11, the youngest 3 children all born in Melbourne, Australia.  I have suspicions that Thomas may have been born in Tipperary, but I need to do more work on that part.  I think that Bridget came from Callan.  Can anyone assist here.

Hi
What information do you have on Catherine Clarke.  I have a Catherine Clarke in my tree.  She married Godfrey Taylor in Portumna, Galway which is just over the border of Tipperary,  Godfrey and Elizabeth had a daughter named Elizabeth.  At some stage the family moved to Australia.  I have more information on Elizabeth but nothing more on parents.  Does this ring any bells.

cheers

Hi Everyone,
I was very interested in reading your discussions about Thomastown.  My Great Grandmother was born in Lady's Well, Thomastown, her name was Ellen Walsh she was born on 4 November 1850, (a b it before the people you were discussing).  Ellens parents were Thomas Walsh and Bridget Hennessy.  I have found out that they lived in lot 5 Lady's well Street.  Thomas' parents were Edward Walsh and Winifred Fitzgibbon, I have been unable to find out if there were any siblings for Thomas.
Thomas and Bridget were married in Callan on 6 October 1837. Ellen had sibling, some I have been unable to find any information on.

Edmond b 21 Jan 1843 Kells
Mary b 16 March 1845 Graig na manach, Kilkenny
Patrick b 30 Jan 1847 Thomastown
Catherine b 25 May 1848 Thomastown
Ellen
Bridget b 13 May 1853, Thomastown
In 1854 the family sailed to Australia where 3 other children were born.
In 2005 I did a trip to Ireland and walked up Lady's Well Stree, but at that time I didn't know where about in the street they lived.
I have a photo of Lady's Well street so will attach for others to see.  If anyone can give me some information about this Walsh family or the Hennessy Family that lived in Callan it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Dianne
