I am  seeking  information on the illusive Walsh family of Tooradoo, Ballyduff in Co Waterford.    

I know that Thomas Walsh, the elder (1796-1866)  lived and farmed there. A younger Thomas and William, who may have been his sons, also lived and farmed there, raising their children who were all born in the 1860s and 1870s. 

That William Walsh was married to  Ann Cashel and his known children were: Margaret (1865) and Thomas  (1870). 

That younger Thomas Walsh  was married to Julia Brackett and their known children were: Bridget (1862), Mary (1866), Michael (1868)  , "Jacobus" (1870) and  Julia (1875). 

My great-grandfather Michael Walsh was their contemporary and was also listed as having resided in Tooradoo. He may have been a third  brother.  In 1859 Michael married Catherine Nugent and their known  children were: Mary (1860),  Bridget Theresa (1862),   Thomas (1864), Catherine (b-1866 d-1868),  Ellen (Nellie) (1868), Alice (1872), and Katherine (Kate) (1876).  Before 1882 both Michael and Catherine Walsh were dead, and  their two eldest daughters had already  gone to America where they worked as domestics in Boston. Upon the death of their parents, the remaining siblings were brought to Boston  to be with their sisters.  Witnesses to the marriage of Michael and Catherine were Michael Nugent and Thomas Walsh (elder or younger?) William Walsh certified the deaths of Thoms the elder, and  Michael and Catherine.  God parents of the Michael Walsh children include William Walsh, Ann Cashel, Jullia Brackett, Michael Cashel, Johanna Nugent Power, John Tobin,Mildred Nugent, Ellen Canyon,  Patrick Whelan, and his wife Alice Nugent..   [Patrick Whelan and Alice Nugent had  2 known children,  William (1861) and Patrick (1863)  ]  

I  have the history of Michael's children in the United States (Katherine was  my Grandmother)  but  need to hear from anyone who may have relatives who remember Tooradoo and/ or  are descendants of the other Walsh cousins.
