I am researching the two sons of MARGARET WALSH, i.e. MARTIN & THOMAS BRENNAN from Tubbercurry.
MARTIN who died 16 Oct 1984 lived at St Annes, Ballynote Rd,his widow was XXX
THOMAS died on 1 January 1997,his widow was XXX , they lived at Moylough.Their children are
XXX
Martin & Thomas's mother Margaret nee Walsh, (I do not have their fathers name) would have been my great aunt. Her brother MICHAEL WILLIAM WALSH born 5th Dec 1876, in Ballincurry, was my GRANDFATHER. There was a further brother John J Walsh.He died in 1958 and had a son XXX , who at the age of 76 was still farming at the place where his father, and my grandfather and great aunt were all born.Their parents names were Michael Walsh and Mary Walsh (this was also her maiden name according to Grandad's Birth Cert.)
My grandfather married FLORENCE DAINES from Bocking Essex, lived at Aldershot whilst he was in the Grenadier Guards and moved to Sheffield, Yorkshire where he died in Dec 1942. They had six children , XXX and Norah,who was my mum.
Any help would be just grand from Patricia N Grocock

Welcome to Rootshat, Patricia, but please remember not to post details of living, or possibly living, people here. If anyone can help with recent family details you (and they) will need to do so via PM (personal message)- you do need 2/3 posts before being able to to so.

Hi Patricia,
I have family trees for both Walshes and Brennans, my family is from Annagh/Tourlestrane in Tubbercurry and my Great Grandma was Celia Walsh, her parents were Matthew Walsh and Bridget Brennan, I have lots of family trees but can't seem to see your names and dates - perhaps they were cousins of Celia's, she had no sister called Margaret and her youngest brother died in 1980, do you have any more info?
I also have some fairly limited info in regards to Stensons in that my great, great, great grandmother was anne stenson, born 1815, she married James Walsh and they had 5 children including Matthew Walsh (mentioned above).
I am wondering if your great grandfather Michael Walsh would have been the brother of my great grandma celia - he was born in 1886 and died in 1956.

Hi all
I am trying to trace my genealogy for the Walsh's.
My great-grandmother was Ellen Walsh (from Tubbercurry) who emigrated to Australia in the early 1900's. Her parents were Thomas and Bridget (nee Price) Walsh. Ellen's siblings were Patrick,
william, Mary, Thomas, and Beninda (?) or Belenaa (?) according to the 1901 Census.
I know that Patrick married Maggie. They were farmers in Tubbercurry. Can anyone help with further info?
Many thanks :)

It would be great if I could contact Clare Bailey, as it looks like we may 'belong' to the same 'Walsh' family tree. My 'Walshs'' came from Canowngapple, Tubbercurry, Sligo.

Hi Tanya,
Thanks for your message, I know my great grandad (thomas mcveigh) was from annagh/aclare/tourlestrane in Tubbercurry, and Celia Walsh, my great grandmother was from Rhue - I am going there in two weeks so will ask my uncle then, as I have never heard of Canowngapple.
Unfortunately I can't seem to see any overlaps with your ancestors and my family tree as of yet, but also my great uncle's wife's mother was a walsh - separate to ours of course - so when I am over visiting, I will see if she has any information for you.
Have you been to Sligo? It's a lovely place.
Out of interest do you know the surname of your great grandfather or did she emigrate before marrying? I have quite a few family trees for the area so might still be able to help :)

Hi Tanya
Thanks for your message, I have had a look through my family trees and can't seem to see where our trees would overlap but my great uncles wife's mother was a Walsh (different family) so I will also ask her if she has any info when I am over in a couple of weeks, have you been? it's a lovely place
out of interest, did your great grandmother marry before emigrating - if so, what was your great grandfathers surname? I have quite a few trees for the area so may have some info on other surnames for you, apologies I can't send you a message but the site wouldn't let me for some reason.

Clare, did your ggm, Celia Walsh have a grand father called Luke Walsh and an uncle called Patrick Walsh? My grand aunt, Margaret Brennan (1890-1976) from Rhue, Tubbercurry married a Patrick Walsh, son of Luke Walsh from Rhue in Tourlestrane RC Church in March 1917 with whom she had 4 children. Patrick died in September 1923 apparently from drowning. His widow immigrated to the US in 1926. In her application for US naturalisation she said that her husband died in 1923. His death must not have been registered as I have not been able to find it in the Irish GRO. Another researcher suggested to me last year that Celia's father, Matthew might have been Patrick's brother but wasn't able to provide any evidence for this supposition. Do you know anything about a Patrick Walsh among your Walsh ancestors?

I recently visited Tubbercurry while researching Lundy and Kilroy roots. To my surprise I learned, from the landlady of a local pub that the Walshs also feature quite strongly in Sligo and was advised to take a look at Rhue cemetery. I did and photographed a number of headstones - mainly Walsh but also some Lundy and Kilroy.
The photos can be found here:

Hi Kerry,
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I only have web access in work at lunchtime and IT protocols prevent me from accessing the link you supplied to your photos. As my grand uncle, Patrick Walsh was from Rhue I thought that he'd be buried there but I couldn't find a grave for him when I last visited 3 years ago although I found graves of cousins, aunts, uncles, grand parents and ggrand parents. I'm sure it is entirely possible that he is buried in St. Attracta's and that just I missed his grave. I must visit it again when I swing through Sligo next spring while searching for the graves of some of my Frizzell ancestors and relatives.

Hi John,
There are photos of about 6 headstones for Patrick Walshs. One gives Rhue as place of residence/birth - Patrick Walsh died 1922 aged 42, also his son Patrick. Possible?
Kerry
-
Hi Kerry,
Yes, that could possibly be my Patrick. Among his children was a Patrick born on 19 July 1919. Patrick senior's widow, Margaret Brennan stated that Patrick died in Sept 1923 on her US Naturalisation application.

Hi John,
I have misquoted son's name, it should have read James.
Sorry - old age!

I recently found the death certificate for my grand uncle, Patrick Walsh in the GRO, Dublin. He died on 20 August 1922, aged 40 years, at home in Rhue from cardiac disease which he was certified as suffering from for 2 years. His wife Margaret Brennan was the informant to the Registrar of his death.

In an attempt to discover whereabouts in Ireland my Walsh ancestor came from I revisited the Griffith Valuation. I discovered a Daniel Walsh shown with land & land and house at Toorlestraun, Kilmactiege Parish, Tobercurry Union, Co. Sligo. Landlord Timothy O'Donnell The property appears to have been jointly held with James Walsh. 11a on map. Google streetview shows a small renovated farmhouse on this spot.
My earliest known Walsh ancestor was a Daniel Walsh and his occupation is given on his son's, also named Daniel, wedding certificate as 'farmer'. I got me wondering if this Daniel from Toorlestrane might actually be my 3x gt grandfather.
The only irish ancestors for whom I have been able to trace an origin in Ireland were Lundys and Kilroys and I know that they came from Co. Sligo and that at least one came from Tobercurry.
My 2x gt grandfather, Daniel was born about 1826 and came to England (Liverpool) sometime between 1841 and 1851. He was a tailor by trade.
If anyone has any information about any Daniel Walshs in the Tobercurry, Rhue, Toorlestrane area it would be of great interest to me.

I would be interested in the Stenson information, my post is here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,518399.0.html
My Great Grandfather was Owen Stenson (1868-1948) married Mary Anne WALSH (died May 1948), Oagham, Tubbercurry, Co Sligo they had a
Thomas Stenson (1905-1962) married to Catherine MARREN (1909-1975).
James (Jim) Stenson died 1979
John (Jack) Stenson born approx 1904, may have married a Nora Feeley and apparently had two girls
Micheal John Stenson (1907-1975)
Bea (Bridget) Stenson (died 2002) married Matty Brown
Attracta Stenson (1909-1987) married a Thomas Egan
Owen Stenson (1868-1948) father was Martin Stenson born approx 1950 possibly in Dowras, Co Sligo. Buried Banada Cemetery, nr Tubbercurry, Co Sligo. Married to Anne KILCOYNE
Owen appears to have had a brother John, others may have emigrated to the US.
We think Martin’s father was Thomas, Martin had a sister Catherine Stenson who married Micheal KILCOYNE, we believe from Curry, Co Sligo. They had the following children
Micheal Kilcoyne
Thomas Kilcoyne
Luke Kilcoyne
Catherine (Kate) Kilcoyne
Devine Kilcoyne ?

hi all,
i just signed up while doing a google search for my great great great (?) granparents James Walsh and Anne Stenson (1815) and saw Clare's string. One of my uncles has a family tree that is like 150 pages long going all the way back to James and Anne. I would be interested in emailing if you have more information on my heritage. what a fun surprise!

I have a Mary Anne Walsh born 1870 ish died 1948. Married Owen Stenson 1868-1948.
They lived out at Ougham, Tubbercurry. Stenson children were John Martin, Thomas Stenson (1905-1962) married Catherine Marren, Micheal John Stenson (1907-1975), Attracta Stenson (1909-1987) married Thomas Egan, James (Jim) Stenson (died 1979) married Margaret Marren, Bridget (Bea) Stenson (died 2002).
I believe that Mary Walsh had a brother called John Walsh, who went to New York and became a member of the NYPD, he died Jan 21 1932, in Line of Duty on 206 East 88th Street, Manhatten, New York. (This has been verified by Micheal Stenson's son). It is believed he had at least two children Agnes Walsh and Joseph Walsh.
There was also another brother, Joseph Walsh who married a girl with the surame Filan. And possibly another Patrick Walsh. I have no other details on the Walsh's bar that.
As a footnote, would anyone have any idea if Catherine Marren and Margaret Marren were Sisters or have you anything else on them ?
Was Mary Walsh related to the Walsh family band that bplayed the ballroom at Charlestown, Sligo ? Mary was buried in St Attractas Cemetery, Tubbercurry.
Owen Stenson was the son of Anne Kilcoyne 1833-1911.
I have created a huge tree on my wife's side, but little luck so far on my fathers, so any help would be apprecaited.
I am wondering whether Patrick Walsh was from Rhue

I've just learned that the Bridget Brennan who married Matthew Walsh was a sister of my great grandfather, Patrick Brennan (1853-1915) of Rhue, Tubbercurry. Her other known siblings were Mark Brennan (1855) and twin sisters, Mary and Honor Brennan (1858). She married Matthew Walsh on 30 April 1872 in the RC Church of Tourlestrane. The witnesses were Michael Stenson and Beesy Cooke. The celebrant was Fr. Thomas Loftus PP. The marriage cert gives her age as 19 years and Matthew's as 21 years. Their father's names are recorded as James Walsh and Patrick Brennan.
Bridget's mother, Honor Brennan nee Healy may have lived with Bridget and Matthew for the last 8 or 9 years of her life. When she died on 16 March 1893 at Rhue the informant to the Registrar who was present at death is recorded as her daughter, Bridget Walsh.

Hi Patricia,
Despite your post being over 3 years old I have decided to reply in case you get an email notification.
Your Margaret Walsh married John Brennan.
They had quite a few children including my grandmother, May.
The children included:
- Peter
- John
- Winnie
- Martin
- May
- Matthew
- Thomas
I think the last of them to die was Matthew (Mattie) in London in 2003.
My mum remembers Margaret dying in 1950 when my mother was 9.
John J Walsh also had a daughter, Mary Kate, who was my grandmother's lifetime best friend.
Let me know if you get this and still want more info on Martin and Thomas as my mother knew them. I actually met Thomas's wife Corsina in her home when she was quite old around 13 years ago.
Regards David (Brisbane, Australia)
BTW, Here is a link to Margaret's growing family in the 1911 census:
