Sligo / Re: WALSH & BRENNAN Family at Tubbercurry
« on: Saturday 26 February 11 11:05 GMT (UK) »
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.
