Hi Mel,

I'd certainly be interested if you came up with anything.  btw my Waltons lived in Macclesfield, Cheshire, UK - looking back at the previous posts that probably wasn't very clear.  They were a very large family - 15 children!!!!!

Thanks,
Richard

Hello Mel55,

Thanks for posting.  It's difficult to say if there's a connection, as I have tantilisingly little to go on. 

My great-gf was James Walton (1836 - 1909), his father was James Walton, who must have therefore been born prior to  (say) 1816.   

They appear in censuses starting at 1861 so it is feasible to think they migrated at the time of the potato famine or just after; g-gf James gave his birthplace as Dublin in one census and Kilkenny as another.  His father's occupation is listed as soldier on marriage certificate, and there is a barracks in Kilkenny. 

I'm not familiar with the places you mention, are they within Kilkenny? 

I'm not sure where to go from here, can you suggest any avenues to investigate?

Best regards,
Richard

Best wishes,

Dear Reggie,

I just come across your email regarding James Walton.  I too am interested in that line, though I'm afraid I don't have any further information about James senior.  I'm coming to the conclusion that only James junior may have come to the UK; he appears in the 1861 census.  As you probably know, he married Sarah Ann Rushton (at least I think he did, though the 1861 census gives James's brother-in-law as Saxton). They had a large family. 

Best regards
Richard
