Hope you're doing well shorts!! I'll be posting some photos over the weekend. I have some
Pretty good ones and have a couple of photos at community events. I'm hoping some people on this site will be able to recognise any relatives

Hi, Mandyric

I have never lived in Ireland, my Grandfather moved over to wales in 1922 during the Irish uprising's.

My family still live in wales but I live in Hampshire.

The names are pronounced as they are spelt just think of the old Irish accent in the 1800;s

Regards  Jim

Hi there. Not been on this site for quite a while and I'm writing this message by mobile phone so I hope this works :) after sifting through my grandmothers photos I found some interesting stuff. First of all, I found a photo of the original headstone of Bridget, Paul, Mary and John pithman. I noticed that this headatone was spelt pitman, whereas the updated headstone is spelled Pithman. Also I have attached a photo that conforms what I was told my my grandmother, that her mother, Bridget was a walsh. Im assuming that the photo I've attached regarding William  Walsh was Bridgets father... More evidence to get me digging again. I will look through my photos again, and hopefully share these. :)

Thank you shorts! not been on here for a while! Hope you're doing well! i really appreciate you posting my G Grandfathers baptism record for me.

We are descended from William b 2 Aug 1899, son of Paul and Annie.  I think William came over to England in the 30s and remained here until his death.  The family name here was always spelt Pitman.

I thought Pitman would be a really common Irish name but doesn't appear to be so in Wexford.  However I find it quite strange the number of Pitmans who married into the Walsh family(ies).  My William Pitman also marrked an Ellen Walsh.

William appears to have still been a PITHAM when he married on 23rd July 1923 per the Rowe Street church parish register.

His brother Joseph when he married on 2nd July 1922 was a PITHMAN. Witnesses were Paul Pitham  & Bridget Walsh (Hill Street)

Paul Pithman and BRIDGET WALSH my great Grandparents    Thanks guys

Think I may have found a brother of my/our GG grandfather Paul Pitman (snr)

 Residents of 115 in The Fythe. 


My GG Grandfather Paul Pitman snr was aged 25 and G grandfather Paul  jnr was aged 1 month in the 1901 census. They lived in Barrack Street.
G Grandfather Paul Pithman jnr was born in Fythe and he was also a fisherman.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks
