PITMAN AND WALSH

[shanew147]

there's been a couple of mentions of the Pitman/Pithman surname already - including possible details on William and his family - e.g.

  Pitham's of Wexford Town
 
William' baptism is mentioned in reply #11 
Parents Paul Pittam and Anne Duggan

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?

William Pitham married Ellen Walsh on 23rd July 1923 – entry in Rowe St church parish register below confirming Fathers’ names. 

This looks like the Walsh family in the 1911 census

Ellen Walsh was born on 21st January 1905 – Rowe St Baptism entry below

Following on from the above post the Bride St parish register for the marriage of William Walsh & Ellen Tierney on 28th September 1896 provides father’s names taking the history back a further generation.
