Anastasia Walsh (nee Talon)

[Guidingspirit]

Hi,

    Can anyone please tell me how I may access Roman Catholic Parish B.M.D. records for the parish of Tullowphelim ( Townland - Downings) in the Barony of Rathvilly, Carlow?

I have just come across an Anastasia Walsh in the Griffiths valuation 1852 and am hoping against hope that she is the wife/widow of John Walsh (Farmer) who are my 3xgreat grandparents.

Anastasia Walsh is the occupier and a Stephen Walsh is the Lessor.

Also, at the same time there is mentioned a John Tomney at Tankardstown.

As John and Anastasia Walsh's daughter Mary born 1817 married a John Tomney born 1821 (my 2xgreat grandparents) I am hoping that finding the Walsh and Tomney family names together in the same County is a good omen.

The Tomney name is so very rare that I am hopeful,

Many thanks,

                     Jean

According to the Irishtimes website (www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/carlowrc.htm) the Parish records for Tullow have been copied to the National Library in Dublin. www.nli.ie/en/homepage.aspx
You can’t search them on-line. Someone needs to search in person.

It might also be worth keeping a lookout for any updates on www.irishgenealogy.ie (free). They already include Church of Ireland records for county Carlow - so I'd say it's possible that they will add RC records at some stage after the current phase of updates due for Dublin and Cork is complete.

Hi there!,

               Many thanks for your help I will just have to keep looking but a trip to Dublin seems unlikely at the moment but who knows?

Jean.

Hi Jack,
            Thank you for sharing that with me. I don't think they are my Tomney's but who knows? I am really floundering around in the dark but hoped that Carlow may be able to provide some answers as there were Tomney's and Walsh's in the same county at the same time.
My great great grandfather, John Tomney, was born in Ireland in 1821 and died in Scotland in 1885 but sadly his parents are not mentioned on his death certificate for some reason or other.
I would so love to trace where they came from but maybe I will have to be content with what I have learnt so far,
Regards, Jean
