Hi Dolly,

         Found this on B.M.D

Julia Francis Walsh b Dec 1843
It also gives her death as Mar 1847

I have PRs for Abingdon but have been unable to find her bap so far.

Hi
It is a member submitted record so may not be accurate.  The birth certificate will, give the mother's maiden name.  She appears to have died young though so you may be barking up the wrong tree!

  Many thanks Sue & Andrea, but my Frances was just that on all census,

 doesn't look a certainty enough to send for cert. Pity--  Taa Dolly.

If she appears on later census then it cannot be the one who died in 1847!
Do you want to give us the census references so we know a bit more about her?

Andrea, thank's for the offer, but I do have all the info I need apart from who John Walsh married.  Ellen on some census and Eleanor ?? on others..
 
 They married 1833 (IGI)  and had16 children that I have found, but Frances was the only one born in Abingdon in 1843.the rest born In Yarmouth..

  I know I could send for one of the later born children but was hoping someone might just have the parish Regs. ...Thanks  a lot Dollly..

For reference only, I know you have these already

1851
Ellen is down born Clackton Kent
Hepzibah 17 Born Somerset Frome
Amelia 15 born Somerset Frome
Albert 11 born Guildford Surrey
Frances 8 born Abingdon Berkshire
Jesse 7 Gt Yarmouth
Elizabeth 8mths Gt Yarnmouth

I see that Amelia has 2 submittal entries for her birth on Family search, 1 for Frome and the other Clackton Kent

Ellen is only 23 in 1851 and 31 in 1861.. so I very much doubt she was his first wife. I would guess they married somewhere between Jesse birth 1844 - 1851 if at all.

Thank you all for the input, but only recently I found that there was definately two Ellens'  I coulden't say who the first one was , but the second was
 Eleanor McKever . daughter of Felix McKever and Sarah Bearman. It took a great deal of sussing but "Eureka" I have found it ... Sorry I should have mailed to say so, but this family gave me many sleepness nights! and only now am I able to pick up my genealogy again. Cheers  & Thanks again,Dolly

  PS  I never found a death of the first Ellen, nor a marriage of John Walsh & Eleanor McKever...

Hi Dolly how did you find the right "Ellen" McKever

I just found, well think I found, Elizabeth's birth with a middle name of Clayton but of course that may not be correct now.


The thing I find strange is that John Walsh calls himself a Master Hatter... that means he takes on apprentices, but if he moves around so much, then he couldn't possibly have apprentices.

Sorry, I picked this up as I hope to go to the Berkshire Archives this week but I really don't think there will be a baptism for Frances there.
