Walsh and Egan Families

I am looking for more information on the Walsh and Egan families from Claremorris, Ireland. Bridget Egan married Thomas Walsh in 1869 in Claremorris, Ireland. Their children are Delia (Bridget) born 1869, Pat born 1872, Thomas born 1874, Luke born 1876, and Mary. Thomas Walsh born 1846 - his father was Patrick Walsh. Bridget Egan born 1850 - her father was Andrew Egan. I believe Andrew Egan had a butcher shop in Claremorris. Delia and Mary Walsh emmigrated to the United States in 1885 with Ann Egan. I am looking for more information on this family.

Rose:

Thomas and Bridget were married April 29 1868.

See 2nd record    https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_re…

I saw birth and/or baptismal records for Bridget, Pat, Thomas and Luke but not for Mary. What year was she born?

I looked for death records for Thomas and Bridget. I found a good lead for Thomas in 1892 but did not find a lead for Bridget.

See eighth record  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…

I did find a death record for Andrew Egan

See sixth record for  1883 death of Andrew Egan                                 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…

I located an 1887 marriage record for Patrick Walsh to Bridget Fitzpatrick. Patrick was a shop assistant. Please note that father of Patrick was incorrectly shown as Michael. Should have been Thomas.

Dear Roger,

Thank you for this information. I will need to look at this information more carefully. I have not been able to find Mary's birth information. I have her and Delia Walsh immigrating to Chicago in 1885 with Ann Egan. I am not sure how Ann is related. Mary is a witness to Delia's marriage to Michael Sayers in 1890 in Chicago. I was told that Bridget Egan died in Chicago in 1909 but I have not been able to confirm this information. I do have Thomas Walsh living in Chicago with Delia and Michael Sayers in the 1900 cencus. He is listed as the father-in-law and widowed which would contradict that Bridget died in Chicago later. I have many brick walls and I am wondering if there are any descendants in the Claremorris area.
