I'm so grateful to you Mary for taking the time to look up these records for me.

My grandmother's birth date is correct and the addresses tie in with other records so I believe

these are my grandmother's siblings. I'm particularly pleased to have Julia's date of birth as she

has proved elusive and now I have a date to help me. My aunt tells me she married in Waterford

and this date makes a record I have noted for a marriage there for 1915 worth purchasing.

Arthur Bond appears as a witness to the marriage of Denis and Hannah, Hannah's father recorded

as William a shoemaker by trade. An Arthur Bond shoemaker appears in the Cork Examiner in
 
1860 so I think there may be a connection here to (my) Edward Bond shoemaker -- the record you

found for an Arthur bond for 1843 would match for period.

Denis's Father was an Edward so the record you found with parents Denis and Honora is

unfortunately not a match. As you say, there are many records for a Denis Walsh.

Thank you again, Mary, I hope I may be of some service to you in the future by way of return.

Very interesting to read about Walshe's Lane as my ggrandmother Hannah Walsh appears on the 1901 census as living at number 3 Walshe's Lane. No's 7-8 are recorded as 'condemned' and 9-11 is a 'disused soap manufactory'.
Edward Walsh appears on Griffith's Valuation, printing date 1852, as a tenant of Mary Murphy, landlord in Walshe's Lane. The Townland is: Walshe's Lane, off Cattle Street.
Edward was the name of Hannah's father-in-law, her husband Denis having moved to Glamorgan, Wales where the whole family were to follow.

Thank you so much, ballydw, for your time and interest.

I have got copies of the birth reg for Mary, born in the Cork Union 25 Jul 1877

also, Denis, born Upper Cattle Street 20 Aug 1878.

My grandmother, Margaret Mary, born 385 Blarney Street 01 May 1891.

Other siblings without accurate dates were:

Thomas, born 1888, KIA 04 Nov 1918 Battle of the Sambre, France

William, born abt. 1886

Michael, born 1895, died 20 Mar 1956, Bedwelty, Glam.

Hannah, born abt. 1897

Julia, apparently married in Waterford, husband unknown. Ancestry has a record for 1915.

The Walsh family were RC and as Denis and Hannah were married 'according to the Rites and

Ceremonies of the RC Church' then, if Hannah was not RC, perhaps she converted.

A witness to the marriage was an Arther Bond. The 'Cork Examiner' for 1860 has a report of a

summons on charges of intimidation against an Arthur Bond, journeyman shoemaker.

As the Walsh/Bond families were shoemakers this might be the same person. I would like to know

if there are records for shoemakers/cordwainers in the National Archives. I must find out.

Many thanks again, ballydw.
