Nora/Norah A Walsh and family of Fermoy, Ireland?

[aghadowey]

Online trees do need to be treated with caution but can provide a useful starting point for your own research. The one I looked at had mother Johanna dying in New York State, not Ireland. If that is the correct person then perhaps birth year was an estimate from census or death age. There certainly was a John Walsh and Johanna Vaughan having children in Co. Cork in the 1860s but impossible to know yet if they are part of your family although you've now mentioned a Vaughan connection.

I found Nora and most of her family in 1910-1940 census records easily but can't see them in Derby/Connecticut/anywhere yet in 1900 census which is one which gives more detail even though husband John Meade was supposed to have died in Nov.1900 in Derby.

Certainly lots of leads to follow but you need to start with Connecticut records before exploring any Irish records. It may be that Nora was actually born just before registration started in 1864.

DERBY - Leo Meade, a former Derby resident who served as post office clerk, now lives in Hopewell NJ. He is currently working as a private investigator in the Lindberg baby murder case.

You have a lot to go on there

Where did you get her date of birth?
How do you know she is from Fermoy?

Several marriages you could look for
More obits you could look for

Hard to know where to start
Do you know some of her children's names?
Could this be her In 1910

ah man, this has got to be it!  the children check out plus the adopted one?!

ANNE AND I ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS ONE.  IN THE CENSUS RECORD IT LOOKED LIKE THE CENSUS TAKER WROTE JOSEPH BAUGN.  MY THOUGHT WAS THAT WITH GRANDMA’S IRISH BROGUE, SHE WAS PROBABLY SAYING VAUGHAN BUT THE CENSUS TAKER JUST WROTE WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE TO HIM.  AS TO THE STEP SON, THAT MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN GRANDMA’S WAY OF SAYING HE’S NOT MY BIRTH SON.

damn

a lot of the ansonia/new haven/fairfield information is not online,   i have the family member scanning/copying the information to me that they looked up when they went there in person.  she is most definately buried in ansonia/died there, as norah lived with norah (child) at the time of death.

LOTS of Connecticut stuff is online  Ansonia/Derby/Shelton all sort of run together and it was very common for people to move to different locations in the area.

Anyway- I HAVE FOUND NORA's FAMILY- or at least a good part of it. will need a little while to type it out and double-check a few things.

my family is spread out across ansonia/derby/new haven/fairfield and all these little towns out there.  id love to know what sites you are using.  even calling the library, the people on the phone were nice but not very helpful... they all kind of just circled me around to each other.  very exciting, i cant wait to see what you have found!!

c walsh      married to _____ johnson
j r walsh            married to _____ morey
