Here is one family of Walsh on Rowe St. in 1901

Wexford T./Row St. Lower St. Iberius Forth Wexford Household Walsh John(52) harness making hardware shop/ Christina(23)wife-Mary(2)-Josephine(5months)-Mary Howlin(36)servant-Ellen Drynn?(44)servant 

I thought I did all of Wexford Town for the 1901 census but may have missed an Upper Rowe St. Maybe a local would know if one there. Joan

Glamorganshire / Irish in Merthyr Tydfil
« on: Saturday 21 February 09 02:48 GMT (UK)  »
There are many Irish in Merthyr with most being from Cork but also from other counties. Since so many came due to the famine (late 1840's early 1850's) it is difficult getting them back to their Irish townland. Census generally say Ireland for place of birth.
My Collin's came in the mid 1840's and Murphy's in early 1850's. Both families from Cork. They all stayed in Merthyr giving me quite a large branch on my tree with many, many Irish names.
I think they came in bunches with family and neighbors from Ireland. I would love to hear from others that fit in this category to see if we could work together to get them home. I do have some resources like Parish records that may help. Joan

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: HAYES
« on: Wednesday 18 February 09 21:27 GMT (UK)  »
In records for St. Mary's RC Church Merthyr:
Marriage April 10, 1898
Elizabeth Finn Bethesda St. Father Cornelius married
Daniel Hayes Bethesda St. Father Thomas

Had children bapped
Honora May 15 1906
John April 15 1900
Margaret Elizabeth May 16 1909
Thomas January 24 1904

There was a Cornelius bapped Sep 21 1902 but transcribed copy I have said father Thomas Hayes and mother Elizabeth Finn. Could be transcription error. I have a Timothy Collins who is shown also as Edward Collins.
I do not have access to 1901 census today but is this a possible for your family? Joan
