Dear shorts

Thanks for the various spelling of the surname, was it always pronounced the same?

Hi Jim alias Tintinn

Thanks for the info.  Do you still live in Ireland?

Our branch of the family settled in Surrey where most of the descendents are although one of the family went to live in Glasgow.

I believe one of William's children visited Ireland each year to meet up with family.

I have a picture of William and Ellen which I could post on this site if anyone would like to see it.

Dear all

Thanks for this thread.  Although I have been researching my family tree for 25 years I have never looked at the Irish side as I thought it was too difficult to find out information but thanks to all your reseach I can see we have the same ancestors.

We are descended from William b 2 Aug 1899, son of Paul and Annie.  I think William came over to England in the 30s and remained here until his death.  The family name here was always spelt Pitman.

I thought Pitman would be a really common Irish name but doesn't appear to be so in Wexford.  However I find it quite strange the number of Pitmans who married into the Walsh family(ies).  My William Pitman also marrked an Ellen Walsh.

Thanks so much for all your help, I'll have a look at the censuses. 

I have researching my family tree and my husband's father's family tree for the past 25 years but have never touched the Irish side of his family because it was so difficult - thank goodness for the internet and helpful people.

Will make a note of dates but really the family I am looking for are the previous generation so date from around 1900. 

Thanks I do have a reference number from Ancestry.

Looking for ancestors and their siblings as I already know about my mother-in-law's siblings.  Will order her parent's marriage certificate and hope it is the correct one.

What year do you class as a 'recent event'?  My mother in law is no longer alive.

Wexford / PITMAN AND WALSH
« on: Tuesday 24 January 12 16:45 GMT (UK)  »
I have just started to research my mother-in-law's family tree.  Her father was William Pitman (date of birth unknown) and her mother was Ellen Walsh (born in 1905), both from Wexford.  They married Jul - Sept 1923 in Wexford.

I have found lots of children but now realise that Pitmans often married Walshs so they won't all be mine.

My Pitmans had children in Wexford from 1928 until around 1935 when they moved to Surrey.

Can anyone help me shed any light on whether i am searching for a needle in a haystack?
