Walsh of Wexford
« on: Tuesday 24 February 09 15:21 UTC (UK) »

Hi. Iam trying to find members of the Walsh side of my family. I will be visiting Wexford end of March hoping to track down my elusive grandads kin folk. The family were living in King Street in 1882 when he was born. His mother was Mary Furlong, his father John Walsh a ships captain I believe. I have tried many times on ancetry, so I am now hoping I can do better on this site. I know he had a brother James and we think there was also a Thomas but there the trail goes cold. I was told on my last visit, that the family could have lived in Rowe Street when grandad married my grandmother, Mary Anne O'Rourke. Fingers crossed, Anne

What was your grandfather's name? I have a Walsh family with John, Thomas and James but these are fairly common christian names. John was born 1862 and married Margaret Daly. Thomas 1891

Hi, My grandfather was John Joseph. I have his birth certificate but he and Gran where married outside Wexford county and we don't have a certificate which would give his address in 1905. Frustrating as they lived with us in Liverpool till their deaths but he never talked of his family. Falling out of some sort. I was hoping his photo might show a family resemblance to someone. Anne

I could not find any that would match in Wexford Town and this is only a possible in the 1901 census.

Thanks for replying but I know my Gt.grandfather was a seafarer. I think grandad could have been at sea himself at the time of the census and I suppose the same thing could have applied to his father. Hopefully I can find some more family information in the church baptism records on my visit next month.

Thanks for that. As I said, I will be going to Wexford next month. Plan is to find Granddad's baptismal record and then check a few years before and after to find his siblings. I will hold on to each offering of info as one may just be the piece that solves the puzzle.

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

Hello Joan. I did look through the 1901 census on my last visit but the only one I found was Mary Walsh, widow. Also a daughter Johanne and a son Patrick. Possible John Walsh snr. had died before the census. My mother did mention visiting her grandmother as a child but no mention of grandfather. If the baptism records show the two new names, I am away.

Hi Manus. I think that they might be from the generation before grandad. He was born 1882. I am really looking forward to getting to the baptism records as then I should find out how many siblings he had. At the moment, I don't know if he was the oldest, youngest or somewhere in between. 4 weeks today I may just begin to unravel my Walsh family. Anne

Hi Anne
I have just discovered Rootschat and your correspondance when looking up my grt grandfather Capt Thomas (better known as Lanigan) Walsh of Wexford. He had sons including Thomas, James (who jumped ship in S. Africa) and Capt Pat, who was my grandfather. I have photos of Lanigan, James, Thomas and Pat. There were other brothers and sisters also.
Can this be of any use to you.

Hi. I have just arrived home from Cornwall, so have only just opened your message. I don't think Lanigan would be Grandad's father as his name was John. I have a picture I was given by another Walsh of a Lanigan. He has a great beard. I didn't get very far with my search in Wexford, but am waiting for a birth certificate to arrive in the hope that it will belong to his brother Thomas. Anne

Hi, have just read your message re having photos of Lanigan Walsh, and others. Lanigan was my husband's great grandfather, "via" James, who jumped ship in South Africa. Would it be possible to get copies of photos of the older Walshes? You could send them to my e-mail address - (*), if that would be possible. Have only recently found this web site. One of my sons has asked me to do research into our branch of the Walshes of Wexford.
Thanks. Raine (South Africa)
