Thank you Hallmark

I can't find any death records either but by doing a world search by date found a death in Jamaica but have no idea how there could be a connection

I am distantly related to a WALKINSHAW family that lived in Ahascragh, Co. Galway
Eliza WALKINSHAW married Christopher SMYTH/SMITH on Sept 30 1891
She is named as the informant on several civil records; she died in 1926

When I came across this probate record I wondered if this John was related to my family.

FTR
John WALKINSHAW (c1819 d1879) and his wife MARY (c1821 d1890)

Jane bc1844 d 1886 unmarried
*Eliza bc1850 d1926 - noted above
Ellen bc1853 d1894 m Edward COOKE 1880
*Mary Louise bc1855 d1915 unmarried
*James bc1857 d1912 m Margaret CURLEY 1889

* born Co. Antrim from Census reports

Also for information and clarification

The John WALKINSHAW who died could not have been the man born on Dec 20 1893 LINK #236
His parents were James WALKINSHAW and Margaret CURLEY
He joined the RIC in 1914 #68041; he died Sept 8 1964 LINK #234

In 1911 a FLEMMING family lived at 88 Seville Place LINK
Vincent FLEMMING is still listed there in 1915 on the register of electors

The only John Walkinshaw I can see with a job as a clerk is this guy in Mayo born Galway
1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Castlebar_Urban/Eillison_Street/1584292/
finding him in 1911 proved a bit of a giggle in the end
1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Castlebar_Urban/Gurteendrunagh__Spencer_Street_/716733/

could he have been transferred to Dublin.

That is brilliant Sinann!!!

I had the 1901 entry but didn't want to taint any searching - the name is so rare in Co. Galway that I feel he must be related at the very least.

Whether  this John went to Dublin (or Jamaica) and died in 1917 I can't say. His age fits with the rest of the family, which includes a married sister Eliza SMITH) and it seems that he possibly never married if still single in 1911.

He's still on the maybe list for now - what a "wackin show" alright!
