Hi, can anyone help out with the following information.
I've very recently received vague details that, my Grandmothers parents- J D Walsh & Mary Walsh
ran a business at- No 1 John Street, Waterford.
This would be around mid/late 1800's, to early 1900's.
I would be grateful to know, what type of business this was, also who the occupants were at that time.
My Grandmothers name was- Maud (Margaret) Walsh, and I believe she was born in this area in 1899, and
later married, Michael O'Neill, (unsure where they wed) from the same area.
They moved to Dublin I believe, as young adults, but not sure of an exact date.
Any information would be of great help.
Regards, Mike.

I had a look at a Directory for 1894 and for 1909 and a Mason named Collins was at number 1 for both years.

Hi, and a huge thank you to Vasaborg.
Following up on your info for, 64/65 John Street, I came across the following.
Passenger list from - Queenstown to United States (New York) aboard the S.S. Lusitania
on the 19/02/1911 - William Walsh and a Lizzie Walsh. (wife) He gives his occupation
as a Plumber, and his nearest relative as, J D Walsh (Father) of 64/65 John Street
Waterford. From this I've been able to trace them on, the 1920 U.S. census living
in, Massachusetts, with 2 children, John, and Beatrice. Also on the 1930 U.S. census, now
living in Detroit, Michigan, again with the above children. His occupation on this census, is
entered as, Plumbing contractor.
So, most of the info seems to tie in, except for the initial address in John Street, what would
Confirm that I have the correct family is, if there was a Maud ( Margaret) Walsh living at that
address in Waterford, for the 1901 Census.
Regards, Mike.
