Smyth, Byrne, Walsh - Blessington Parish
« on: Saturday 13 June 20 18:09 BST (UK) »
Have finally found a birth and marriage in Blessington through rootsireland.  Marriage between Joseph Smyth and Mary Byrne, 1839.  Witnesses Michael Byrne & Biddy Cavana.  First son born (John) 1840, sponsored by Michael Walsh and Mary Smyth. Second born, Mary in 1842, sponsors Charles Walsh and Jane Behan.

In 1871 this Smyth (Smith) family was living in Liverpool and had a John Walsh, nephew, living with them.  This nephew was born in Blessington to a Michael Walsh and Mary Smyth in 1850, they were married in Blessington 1847.  His sponsors were James Byrne and Jane Behan.

I am thoroughly confused with the connections between these people and don't know where to begin unravelling this.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
