No, I didn't miss it, but the notices for Michael WALSH place him sometimes in Young Street ( no street number)  and other times another address in Parkside.


Sue
The other address is probably Marian St, which his widow was living at in 1916 when her youngest son was killed in WW1 ... I would guess that as a successful boot manufacturer Michael would have invested his profits  :)

he perhaps was Richmond because he was born in Richmond, Victoria (fact)   :)

many thanks Cando, that's a heap of work and much appreciated, which I will now follow up on  :) ... can't get the wills probate mob to show the links you posted, I'll try again in the quieter hours.
... in some earlier reading I do recall Eleanor was also called Nellie, perhaps in her childhood.
... and am over the moon that you found W. Aust connection as that could/would explain Eleanor's (aka Ellen and/or Nellie) nursing training in Perth (I had noticed the Sydney Hospital on her service records and as it stated "Charge Theater Nurse" I assumed that she didn't want to "big note" herself when she volunteered). Will put more work into that area as Perth Walsh could be a relative

There are these deaths NSW

Johanna T Walsh 1924 67yrs Canterbury
Johanna Teresa Walsh 7/3/1953 Petersham.

Also

Johanna Walsh 9/5/1953 Lismore.
States in the funeral notice she is the wife of Thomas Walsh of Gundurimba.
Yeppers, looking for Johanna Walsh and Thomas Walsh is nearly as bad as looking for Mary Smith and her hubby Charles Smith (a blacksmith in my own English tree) ... but got them sorted ;D I will look at those Johanna's and see how/if they fit ... many thanks

"On Saturday morning the death occurred', of Mr. Thomas Walshe, who for the past. 20 years was identified with Killarney Station, Deceased was a native of Tasmania...... etc .....
Doesn't seem right either, I think this mans wife was a an Esther but if Mollies mother was Johanna it might be another clue
... thanks for this clue, Killarney Station is a long way from Narrabri, but the men went where the work was in those days and eventually (most times) returned to where "family" was, so as there were many Walsh's in Narrabri (including the baker and grocer) there could be a so far unfound association. Will keep this on the backburner  :)

she enlisted in the AANS 21st November 1914
   n4mv3t

Gave her mothers address as 57 Young Street Parkside. SA

Adelaide Advertiser
August 1914

 ......Let, 2 or 3 Unfurnished Rooms, suit couple; JL attendance if required. Apply 57, Young st.. Parkside ......


(this address links her with my South Australian Walsh's, 

In what way?
What is the name of the people at this address to whom you are connected?

Sue


Sue, ... my connection is through my lovely lady (whose tree I am researching, with her permission) whose deceased mother married a Walsh, her maiden name was Andrewartha ... and the Walsh connection to Young St, Parkside is due to an in memoriam notice in the "Advertiser" on the 7th September 1912 which reads ... "Walsh - In sad, but loving memory of my dear husband, and our dear father, Michael Walsh, who died at Young-st, Parkside, September, 7, 1909. R.I.P. Sadly missed. - Inserted by his loving wife and family"
Notices that Michael Walsh's widow places in later years where she names her sons (including my lady's grandfather) confirm that this is the correct Walsh ... Michael Walsh and his wife, Mary Agnes (nee Gapper) were my lady's great grandparents ...
and so when I saw 57 Young st, Parkside on Ellen Walsh's military paperwork I started to research her some more, but so far have not found an absolute family link.
Some of my research has suggested that the Parkside Walsh's may have a link to Walsh's from Victoria, and prior to that Walsh's in Tasmania
Ellen's forebears were in Victoria prior to Narrabri, and prior to that the line goes to Tasmania ... but nothing is set in concrete ... am still digging

G'day ... I hope someone may be able guide me in the right direction
Whilst researching the Walsh family (my partners forebears) I discovered that her grandfather and 2 of his brothers had served on the Western Front (1 being killed at Pozzieres). Off on the side of my research was an Ellen Walsh who was born in Narrabri New South Wales, a long way from my South Australian Walsh's so it took a while before I eventually decided to have a look at her. Her war service record and my further research reveals the following ...
she enlisted in the AANS 21st November 1914, aged 31
trade and calling - Nurse
she trained Perth Public Hospital (geesh!!, that's a long way from Narrabri ... how did that happen?)
she volunteered in 1914 and left for abroad in the first group of nurses and worked in hospitals and casualty clearing stations in Egypt, France and England as well as Lemnos (Lemnos being just across the water from Gallipoli and the first 'serious' major medical attention that seriously wounded soldiers would receive before being eventually evacuated to Malta)
she returned to Australia 18th February 1919
her army service record records her mother as I. ?. Walsh, 57 Young St., Parkside, South Australia (this address links her with my South Australian Walsh's, but what this link is, is evading me)
she resigned/demobilised from the military on 11th September 1919
her real name was Eleanor Loretta Walsh
sometime after she left the AANS in 1919 she married (perhaps in 1924) and her married name became Eleanor Loretta Harris (I have not been able to identify either her husband or children) however she had a daughter, miss T. Harris (as at 30th January 1968, a letter to Army records)
she died 8th December 1967 in New South Wales
on the 7th February 1968 it was decided by the authorities that she was not eligible for the special medal issued to Gallipoli Veterans
so, my question is what is the link that this Narrabri Walsh have with my South Australian Walsh's?
any help, assistance etc would be greatly appreciated ... thank you

Good to know you've seen my posting.  Definitely want to discover your connection to James McGregor of Gartly and to share mutual research.  I am in suburban Melbourne but hope to be in Barossa Valley next Easter.
Barossa is nice, hope you have booked ahead, Clare Valley shouldn't be overlooked if you like your wines ... have had the painters in the house for 10 days so my home office has suffered (it, including 3 computers, is spread through three other rooms!!) so progress on research is about reoccur ... will PM you as to how best we can discuss the James McGrigor connection pre Easter.
