Tomney/Walsh/Tallon
« on: Friday 22 March 13 18:55 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to pin my ancestors down to a parish and have found a John Tomney/John Walsh/Anastasia Walsh and John Tallon in the Griffiths valuation for Carlow. Coincidence? John Tomney married Mary Walsh daughter of John Walsh and Anastasia Walsh (nee Tallon). John Walsh was a farmer.

Do you know what denomination your Tomney/Walsh/Tallon families were ?

Many Church of Ireland records for Co. Carlow are available on www.irishgenealogy.ie, but no RC records at the moment.

Of the three surnames you mentioned, Tallon and Tomney would be least common, so I'd focus on those...

Thank you Shane - I am fairly sure that they were Catholic.
