James Walsh was born September 8, 1860 in Garristown, Dublin
I think his father's name was Richard.
He came to America in 1883.
He married Mary Hazel(ton) who also was from Garristown.
They married in 1884 (not sure of exact date) in Philadelphia.
They then went on to have 6 children Richard, James, Mary Jane ( my grandmother), Alice, Anna , Rose.
In Philadelphia he was a railroad foreman.
Our aim is to connect all people with a link to Garristown – the civil parish for Adamstown, Baldwinstown, Newhaggard, and more in Balrothery. You may live here, have visited here, or maybe are tracing ancestors who left long ago. In any case, we’re sure to have lots to share and are delighted to welcome you.
No buildings are associated with this community.
