Place of migration
Stayed in Ireland

John and Julia (Burke) Walsh had ten children.  All ten emigrated to St. Paul, Minnesota but two returned to Ireland, daughter Anne who married Thomas O'Brien and son John who settled on the land the family had occupied since at least 1801 (supported by Lease agreement).  His descendants are still there today.  John traveled to St. Paul to see if he and Julia should emigrate, but decided that they would remain in Ireland.

Derrycoosh was among the holdings of Roger Palmer one of the worst of the famine landlords.

    Kildavnet Freeholders List

    <p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote. While the smaller tenant farmers who suffered most during the Great Famine won't appear on this list, there may be a few surprises included here (that didn't appear on Tithe applotment records). These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>
