Hi Cyril, Mine were from Balinea, just outside Mullingar. Do you have any more details of yours, as I have some stray BMD's I picked up during the years.

Mentions that several generations of Walshes (with an e) lived on the Islands

Is a lovely publication by the Inland Waterways on the Islands.

Hello Cyril

Saw your posts of 2010. Did you find the family of Francis Adamson? I came across a tree on Ancestry with his family-it contains photographs.

I am looking for the family of Anne Adamson born about 1800 Moate Westmeath married to Dennis Leape also of Moate.

Regards Heather

Welcome to RootsChat Tony
A lot more records are online since this thread was started.
Have you got any idea of dates for your Thomas Adamson and a bit more information about him would help. Did he emigrate, who/when did he marry, die etc?

This Thomas I assume
1901

Have you got Thomas going through Ellis Island?
Does he ever give Moate as his birth place?
Does he give an occupation for his father on his marriage?

There is a Christopher and Catherine having children in Moate but his occupation is shoemaker, I guess it's possible he may have had to give up shoemaking by the time of the 1901 Census.
I fairly sure all the births have the mark of the parent which would fit with Christopher and Catherine being unable to read and write in 1901. It doesn't in this case appear to be intimation on the part of the registrar as others have signed.
The birth year of the son Christopher doesn't fit age wise with 1901 but that in itself is not unusual.

Something very odd going on with Moategranoge from one census to the next
1901 lists 134 households
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Westmeath/Moate/Moategranoge/
1911 lists 5
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Westmeath/Moate/Moategranoge/

needs looking into

Moate town is one of the missing from the 1911 Census
