My Great Grand Parents are Paul and Annie
My Grand Parents are Thomas and Lizzie
My Father is Thomas
And my Aunties are Nancy. Betty and Rosie.

My Mum who was friends with your Aunt Nancy has a photograph taken outside your Grandparents house in Saltee Avenue in the early 1950's which includes the three Aunties you mention and your Uncle P plus three other kids who I can’t name here as they may still be living.


Your Grandmother Lizzie Pitma :)n was a ‘Walsh’ and the following obituary is for her Father James Walsh, your G GF, who died in 1950 aged 83. (Mrs T Pitman from Saltee Ave is named as his daughter)

That newspaper clipping is very interesting!

Still not sure if I am related to this Walsh family yet, i will certainly look into it.

Thanks Shorts, you're a credit to this website!

Take care   :)

Well I'd like to start this message with Hi family  ;D
Tintin I cant seem to reply to your PM as this site wont let me. I hail from Thomas Pitman the brother of Paul and James, the son of Paul and Annie.Its truly amazing the breath of a family and how far it extends.
I was talking to my Dad yesterday and he was telling me how Paul used to spell his name Pithman, and his brother Tom (my grandfather) used to call himself Pitman.
I was looking on line last night and there was mention of a William Pithman in Wexford C1755 I wonder if he's related I hope so!!
I also seem to remember something my Dad said about working for Paul rowing across to the Ferry bank for 2 pence a day.


Hi there! That's right, we're the only branch that seemed to have taken on the Spelling Pithman. The family over here in England still spell it that way haha.

Wow Great story you have there about Paul rowing across the ferry bank! I found out recently during my trip to Wexford that Paul was a fisherman.


I will have a look at that William Pithman.

It's great to hear from you!

I have just been researching my family history for my daughters school project and have come across your post.
My Great Grand Parents are Paul and Annie
My Grand Parents are Thomas and Lizzie
My Father is Thomas
And my Aunties are Nancy. Betty and Rosie.
I was talking to my Dad and his uncle is Paul, your Grandfather.
And thanks to your post I can now add two more to my Family tree so I thank you.



Hi there,  it's great to hear from you! It's amazing how we all branch out.

My Grandmother Bridget, daughter of Paul Pithman mentioned her grandparents Paul and Annie. I don't think she was very close to them, or even remembered a great deal because she moved to England when she was 14 years old. My profile picture is of my Grandmother Bridget on the day of her Holy Communion . Her Mother was also named Bridget,  nee Walsh, I wonder if she was ever related to Lizzie Walsh. Two Walshe's married into the Pitman/Pithman Family....?

I hope the school project went well!

Thank you so much for your reply

Carrie-Anne

Hi, No worries! I've not been on here for some time now. I find all of this research very rewarding yet sometimes quite draining, so i take time off now and again.

Thank you again for your info,  you've been a great help.

I can't thank you enough. These photos are great! I just found out that the headstone of Paul and Bridget was replaced by a great uncle of mine due to the previous headstone being in poor condition.
 ;D


My apologies to all for not being on here for a while. I just bought a new computer after my old one packed up!
