Walton-Baptism

Hello Richard and Mel
I can definitely say that Richard and I share the same Walton family, and am very interested in Mel's information.   I too have James leaving Ireland during the potato famine, but am stuck at the same place as Richard.
Any more thoughts, please let me know
All the best, Regina

Hello Mel

This is an old post but I'd thought I'd add some information in case you are still interested! I was born in Ovenstown (Newtown), Kells, Co. Kilkenny. There was a John Walton along with his son Patrick who farmed there in the 1800s and early 1900s. Bassets directory 1884 seems to show a Nicholas Walton living in Ovenstown along with John Walton. It also lists "Flour & Meal - Kells Grange Mills,  Nicholas Walton"

There weren't that many waltons in Kilkenny so its possible that John Walton was a brother of his.
