I have tried many times to find family of my grandfather through his paternal line. Hope to have more luck with his mothers family. She was Mary Furlong, married John Walsh, a ships captain. My grandfather John Joseph was born March 1882 in King Street, Wexford Town. I know he had a brother James and I think also Thomas but as I don't know granddads pecking order in the family, I have no idea how long his parents were married or even if they were married in the town or perhaps someother part of the county. One lady helping me suggested it could have been Bannow as there was a marriage shown in Bannows parrish records of JohnWalsh and Mary Furlong. I did post a picture on the Walsh site hoping someone might spot a family resemblence but beginning to think he may take after the Furlong line. Hers's hoping someone thinks he looks familiar. Anne
