Mayo / Re: Patrick Walsh
« on: Monday 20 August 18 21:07 BST (UK) »Does the signature of Maria Walsh, witness to marriage of Anne Walsh 1875 have "Mrs" written after it or was it "pps" followed by priest's signature? I think the priest was Thomas Timlin.
Hello! Since posting this in July, I have located Anne's siblings and parents. Maria was her youngest sister, so I assume her father Patrick and sister Maria were her witnesses.
But to answer your Q, the signature did not have anything written after it and it has "their marks" written for both Maria and Patrick Walsh. I assumed that to mean they could not write, so the priest signed for them? It does look like Thomas Timlin.
