searching for Mrs Pat Walsh Pittsfield MA
« on: Sunday 09 August 20 17:18 BST (UK) »
I have a record for a David Broderick b c 1905 arriving in Boston 12th April 1926 going to his aunt Mrs Pat Walsh 7 Easter Terrace Pittsfield MA. David born County Cork Ireland.
I do not need any info on David as I know he returned to Ireland and died here in 1956. I am trying to trace the origins of his Aunt Pat Walsh her maiden name possibly Broderick or Hegarty. Thank you for any assistance.

There is no Easter Terrace in Pittsfield MA, but there is an Esther Terrace.

In 1920 there was a Patrick Welch/Walsh living at 7 Esther Terrace. His wife is Mary, born 1879 Ireland.

1920 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MXTK-LD8

In the 1910 census there is a son John listed, born about 1898.

John's birth record list his parents as Patrick Walsh & Mary Haggerty

Patrick Welch married Mary Haggerty in 1897.

In the 1900 census there is a Timothy Hagerty age 26 born Ireland, listed as a boarder living with them. Possible brother or relative to Mary?

Thank you so much I didnt have Mary Hegarty or Timothy Hegarty on the family tree so lots more to add now thanks to your detective work I would say Timothy is a brother to Mary . Appreciate your efforts. :)
