Hi Liz P
I am also a descendant of Lanigan Walsh living in Cape Town, South Africa. I met your grandparents Joe and Lizzie when I visited Wexford in 1976 and 1977. Stayed at 3 William St in 1976. Also met Joe Jnr and Jenny.
Am currently corresponding with others of the Walsh clan in Wexford. Would like to hear fom you.
Regards
Kevin

Hi to all you Walshes, I'm throwing in a little bit in case it's of any use to you, a little too far distant from my own tree really.
A stone in The Grange Cemetery, Wexford reads
"Erected by Alice Walsh in memory of her father William Lambert who died July
1st 1861 aged 50 years also he mother Alice Lambert who died Oct 6th 1881
aged 70 years."
Alice Lambert is my great grandmother whose maiden name was Furlong. Amongst William and Alice's children was Alice, the youngest, born and christened 12th Oct 1848, godparents Godparents - Nicholas Hayes and Mary Petit.
She obviously married "somebody" Walsh but his name is not known, however, family stories say that their son went to be a sheep farmer in the Falkland Islands.
This is my total knowledge of the Walshes but since the name Furlong has been mentioned in this thread I thought this little bit might help.

Hi Kevin W
Nice to hear from you. I know my cousin Tony has been communicating with you. His mother --- is my mothers sister. I remember my mum telling me that she met one of your family when she was home on holiday one time. I have one son (---) and two daughters --- . My daughters find it facinating that we have relations in South Africa - that we have never met. Cant wait to be able to send photo's etc.,
Its great to think using this media that we can chat to relations we have never met.
Well keep talking
Regards
Liz

Hi Plover
Great to hear from you. Where are you based are you one of the Walsh's in Kilmore?
Sorry about the reunion, it was organised by the cousins in the UK and all done on facebook it ended up no-one knew what was happening. anyway it was a test run, and hopefully we are going to organise a big Walsh reunion in the future for everyone.
that will take some organising ha ha someone said we would need to do it on Carne beach as its the only place we would all fit ha ha.
Anyway great to hear from you and let me know what Walsh's you are.
Regards
Liz

Hi Liz
Great to hear from you. Yes, I am from Kilmore Quay. My mother was Mary Walsh (known to all as "Dolly"), daughter of Capt Pat, g/daughter of Capt Lanigan. My cousin Billy lives in the home place in the Quay. I now live up the road in west Wicklow. I think Ballyteige beach might be just big enough for a reunion of this family!
Will be in contact. Happy birthday to Katrina.
Plover

Dear Rattler,
There was a Captain Matthew Walsh from Wexford in the early 19th century. He was married in 1797 to a Catherine Parle, I believe. He was very active and eeven sailed to Quebec. I think he died in the 1820's. He had a son named Michael who was also involved with the sea
