My dear old g,father RICHARD WALSH I feel is running rings around me. I spent years trying to trace him. Then over in Ireland i find the 1901 census form for himself and his family. On it he states that he was born in Tipperary. He has down, his wife Anne Brien, Daughter Mary1, Daughter Maria2. I have all the details of my Gran, Anne and the children, so far so good! I searched many places including the the record offices in Dublin for his birth, to no avail.
Then one day i am at our local Mormon church reading the reels of films i sent away for and finely,i come across the 1911 census sheet for my G.father Richard Walsh. Most of the details are almost the same as 1901, except now he says, he was born in Galway! Has anyone heard of a Richard Walsh, out there who hails from Galway! born sometime in the1860s, maybe nearer 1863. I would love to hear from you!
