hi everyone my name is kevin walsh and im a great great grandson of thomas lanigan walsh my great grandfather was his son willie (william) walsh of the Faythe his wife was maggie nee(stafford) and there oldest son willie walsh of wolfetone villas was my grandfather and my  father is liam(william) walsh also of wolfetone villas now i also have a brother called billy (william) the Irish boxing coach and i also have at least two first cousins called william,i came across this site by chance my father seems to have a life time of knowledge on family and if we can be of help to anyone feel free to let us know,i have a few things to share with you,thomas lanigan walsh was a fine big healty man in his mid 90s and one day he was coming out of the Friary Church and crossing the road he was knocked down by a horse & cart my father said he didnt die but he was never the same and after a year to two year he did die at the age of 97,now on a happier note how he got the name Lanigan the story goes that there was a famous singer of the day called Lanigan----------? he was to play a concert in the Theatre Royal in Wexford But for some reason he didnt show and i gess to avoid a riot  Thomas Walsh got up onto the stage and entertained the audience so he was called Lanigan ever since that day. Before i go there is one other thing while glancing through this site i came across a note from a gentleman whos name escapes me at the moment  but he thaught he had picked up the E on the end of Walshe  along the way but i would like to let him know that  it was always there but for some reason it was lost in time ,my fathers birth cert has an E at the end of  Walshe. BEST REGARDS Kevin Walsh
