Kilkenny / Re: Walton-Baptism
« on: Friday 21 July 06 03:07 BST (UK) »
Hi Richard,
Kilmoganny Dist is part of Kells which is outside Callan in Kilkenny.
My oldest entry is a James Walton who died in 1870 and then I go to his son Nicholas Walton (born in 1828 and died in Lower Garrynaman, Kells, Dunanaggin, Kilmegan on July 3, 1884 ). I don't have any info on other siblings. Possibility there though of a James in 1836.
Nicholas married Catherine Dunne and one of their sons was a James born 6/26/1870. Most of this family emigrated to Brooklyn, New York on October 13, 1893. Nicholas and Catherine would have been my great-grandparents. Their daugher Ellen (b 2/27/1877) was my grandmother.
They all started in and around Callan and Kells. According to a map of appx. 1641 that area was the only place Waltons were landowners. I confuse matters futher because both my g-father and g-mother were Waltons!
I got most of my info from my father's cousin who had done a huge amount of research before he passed on a few years ago. I'll try to dig up some papers of his that were passed on to me and see what else I can find.
