Looking for Patrick Welsh and his parents info

Looking for info on bothPatrick Welsh/Walsh/Welch and his parents. I have no info on the parents,but here is what I know about Patrick:

Listed as Peteric Walsh on 1851 Canadian census records

Born 1802 in Ireland (I do not know where, but family lore says Kilkenny or Waterford)

Died May 5, 1859 Howe Island, Ontario, Canada. Buried in Howe Island RC cemetery.

Carving on his gravestone says something like 'loving wife Anty Welsh'

Married to Anastasia Lennigan (spelled Lingen on 1851 Canadian census records)

She was born in Ireland possibly 1802 possibly Wicklow

She died Jan 15, 1887, buried April 1887 in Howe Island RC cemetery

They emigrated to Canada, between 1841 and 1847 (estimated)

They had at least one son who emigrated with them: Joseph, born 1832 in Ireland, died February 1920. He (Joseph) married Anna Gough.

I am desperately looking for info on his parents, otherwise I am stuck in my research --- I am trying to make the connection back to Ireland from Canada so I can find out parish, etc. of the parents.

Hi Anne,

Son  Joseph Walsh  was baptised on 20 June 1834 in Slieverue County Kilkenny, father Patrick mother Anastasia Linegar, the family address at the time was Ferrybank Co.Waterford.

Slieverue parish website http://www.slieverue.com/

So the son was baptised in Kilkenny while they lived in Waterford. Distance between Slieverue and Ferrybank is about 4 Km or a 10 minute drive by car.

No marriage record found for Anastasia and Patrick.

Hope this helps a little,

Hello Anne Marie,

Thank you so much for this bit of information.  It has allowed me to FINALLY make a connection between my ancestors in Ontario Canada (all of my direct ones emigrated to Ontario) and where they lived in Ireland.  

Do you have any suggestions on where I might look to find the marriage records of Patrick and Anastasia or is it best if I try to contact Slieverue parish and see what records they  might hold?

Thanks again,

Anne

Anastasia Linegar was born on 29.10.1806 in Parkstown, Glenmore, Co. Kilkenny (It was then part of the Parish of Slieverue). Her godparents were William Purcell and Anastaia Hennebry Busherstown. She did marry Patrick Welsh and lived in Ferrybank and had one son Joseph born on 20.6.1834.

Anastasia's parents were Charles Linegar (7.3.1782) and Mary Walsh of Busherstown. They were married on 17.11.1806. Witness to the marriage were Patrick and Nancy Walsh.

Charles Parents were: James Linegar and Anastasis Kennedy and they lived in Parkstown. 

Siblings of Anastasia are as follows: Margaret, Mary, Bridget and James.

Siblings of Charles are as follows: Margaret, Susannah, Mary, William

Siblings of James are as follows: William, John, Barbara, Margaret, Mary, Sally, Elizabeth, Anne and John

There are Linegars in Parkstown Glenmore, Co. Kilkenny, Dunkitt, Kilmacow, Co. Kilkenny. These Linegars originated in Waterford city and are Hugenouts who arrived from France around the early 1700s. I hope this helps.
