Sadly this also means either James, Michael Thomas, Thomas Francis (if they are related) or Margaret Christina has to have died before 1911.

Have you tried looking for them?

Death results for james Walsh from 1897 to 1911   http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nrm/

If you know they died Clonmel...select Clonmel from List

I've looked for James and Margaret Christina death and marriage records Michael Thomas and Thomas Francis had never been on the radar before. The problem is I don't know where they would have died.

Waterford (where the parents were from and James was born)?
Cork (where Michael was stationed and three children born)?
Clonmel (where they ended up living)?
India (where he was stationed)?

The other thing is I have a cousin (other side of the family) who was born, reared and buried in Cork city but died in the central hospital in Galway. So there's another potential.

So don't put any District in.

There is an Army record on Ancestry for this Michael Walsh

It states the details given here that he married Margaret CAREY and enlisted at Clonmel in 1889
He was born in St. John's Parish, Waterford
reg#3306 Royal Irish Rifles

He served from
04.09.1889 to 11.12.1891 at home (UK or Ireland)
12.12.1891 to 14.02.1897 in India
15.02.1897 to 07.09.1898 at home
08.09.1898 to 18.03.1903 in India
19.03.1903 to 11.02.1916 at home; children's births confirm Fermoy, Buttevant and Clonmel
12.02.1916 to 01.04.1919 in India
02.04.1919 to 01.05.1919 at home - discharged

Confirming heywood's records from familysearch.org
Michael Thomas was born in Mhow on Nov 11 1899
Thomas Francis was born there also on Mar 03 1902
which gives you the seven children for the couple as shown in 1911

There is also a reference to the death of Margaret on May 26 1906 although I cannot see a civil record for this

I still cannot see a census record for the four boys in 1911

but this maybe a marriage for Michael Walsh Jnr LINK
subject to further proof

Hi myluck,

That's brilliant! I can't find that record myself to add it to my tree. What record set is it under?

[hallmark]

Have you checked Deaths registered in Fermoy, Mallow and Clonmel  Districts?

[myluck!]

Had a moment there trying to find it again!

put in MICHAEL for first name, WALSH for last name, 1871 for DoB and wait for it
WORTESFORD for place of birth!
His British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920 is the second reply for me

Needless to say Wortesford was unknown to me before this as a spelling for Waterford!
