Wexford / Re: Walsh of Wexford
« on: Wednesday 18 January 12 16:02 GMT (UK)  »
I tried to send an email to kilmoregeneology.com but it got bounced back

Further to my previous post here is some more information The people I am interested in is

Nicholas Walsh born 7th March 1865 to Edmond and Catherine Walsh (nee Cousins). Nicholas' birth Certificate has them residing in Crossfamoge.

I  have read that there was a baptism of Mary Ann Walsh in Kilmore to an Edmond and Catherine on 14th November 1847.

You also mentioned a note that there was a Mary Walsh born to same parents on 19th July 1854 in Ballyteigue.

Edmonds profession is a fisherman. Stated on Nicholas' birth certificate.

We also have some information that Nicholas was charged with being a destitute orphan in  August 1876 in Duncormick as both his parents wer both dead. We also have the names Willaim Boswell and HS Boyce connected to this. There is a note that he was licensed to a Mr McCormick Carpentry Department 30/4/188? and was readmitted on 31/5/81. We know that Nicholas went to the Artaine School, I do not have he dates to hand, I think from 1876 when he was eleven.

I have seen that there was a death of for an Edmond Walsh in 1874 and that he was born on 1822/25. Is there any information about this.

Is there anywhere that I could search for the court records of Nicholas' commital as my searches so far have drawn a blank. Where might I find a death certificate for Edmond and his wife Catherine.

An elderly aunt said that Nicholas' parent were buried on the island.

We believe that that Nicholas and Rose were married in Chapel Queens Cork in 20th November 1897 but there is some confusion as there is also a record of a marriage in Kent in 1896 .

We have some information that Rose was born in Arklow, Co Wicklow not as stated, Dublin. In 1911 it is stated that they  have been married for 15 years which puts the date of the marriage as 1896

I also see that in 1911 that Nicholas is a carpenter which is correct.

My Greatgrandfather was a Nicholas Walsh who was born in Kilmore in 1865, he joined the army and was stationed in Cork -Spike Island - where my grandfather was born. and was also stationed at the Curragh.
I believe his father was an Edmond Walsh - we have no information, about him, but I have seen some information o the Wexford resources of a Nicholas Walsh in 1770 baptism.
Could be a relation due to naming convention?

If anyone has any information about this line of the Walsh's I would be grateful.

Any elderly relative mentioned over thirty years ago that there was some connection with the Webbs of Gory and also Terrance McSweeney,long shot I know. Has anyone found a connection or was it just one of those fanciful stories

Hi Ginealas

Thank you for that information. It and still is just a story but I always thought it was an odd thing to say as she mentioned it at my Grandmothers funeral and that was thirty years ago
I would not even know where to start looking to find this connection, she mentioned that my mothers family Walsh were from Wexford and my Greatgrandfather Nicholas Walsh.

I knew the name of that firm sounded familiar so I had a look and found this.

Hi Shane

He was born on Spike Island in Cork on 31st December 1899,
His father Nicholas Walsh was in the Army and we know that Edmond spent some time on the Curragh. My Uncle has my grandfathers membership card to Sienn Fein. I have not seen it or a copy of it

He left school at 14 and was an apprentice plumber to Harvey McLaughlin and also at some time worked for the Board of Work in Dublin.

He left Ireland I think in the 1920's and came to England, he met and married Kathleen Mary O'Reilly  who was from Dublin.

My father has managed to trace the Walsh side of the family to an Edmund Walsh from Kilmore, Wexford who died about 1874.

A great aunt told us that there was some connection to the Webbs of Gorey? and that the was some connection to Mayor McSweeney of Cork  as yet we have not been able to prove that connection.

On n my fathers side there is a trial back to a Thomas Collins in Mayo and again another story that there is some distant link to Michael, this is another avenue that I am looking at. 

Thomas Collins had a son called Michael who settled in Durham and became a miner. He had three sons called Thomas and Michael and Charles, Michael had a son called Peter my father.

I am hoping to flesh out the stories to find if there is any truth in them and weather we can prove it.

Sorry for the long reply but thank you for the information.

I thought what was meant was  that there was a search facility for those awarded the medal/s.

I have the service medal (with bar) and survivors medal.

It was a site that listed people involved in the Easter Uprising. We do not have the medal, so I am trying to find out if he may have been mentioned in any witness statements or other peoples accounts. I believe that there are people who may have looked into the Easter uprising. I would like to gather information to see if I can apply for apply for a certificate of service.

My grandfather passes away in 1968.
