Walsh Family

[mark.r]

Hi Groom' over here.Been trying on family search for him but no joy.But every thing put down here is correct/

[groom]

I think the only way is to get his marriage certificate for his father's name. The only problem is that if he was fostered there may have been a reason and he may have been illegitimate.

Thanks alot Groom for your help.I will have to send for a cert to find out his father and may be his mother.Mark

I am sure that he was a foster child with a family named Greenaway.

1939 free index shows an Alexander Walsh b c1909 in Wokingham district. There's a William Greenway in the same household

[groom]

One of the problems of tracing him will be the fact he was born just before the last census, so the next record for him would the 1939 with nothing in between. Although the 1939 confirms his date of birth it doesn't tell us any more about him.

If it's the Dublin one, here he is on 1911 with his mother - who says she is married

Thank you both for your help,Are the census free or have you got to pay for them?

[groom]

Yes, I spotted that one as well Mabel, it certainly looks like him IF the birth is him. The actual image says Alexander is 1 yr 4 months on the census. I see she says she has been married 2 years, so that would be about 1909 - could just be a cover up? The actual image says Alexander is 1 yr 4 months on the census. Could be the reason he was fostered.

That Irish census is free - just follow the link.
