Walsh or Walshe

CorkMallow (Cork)

Hello, I am new to this site and am trying to find my mother's family. This is going back to the late1800's in Cork. The names I have are Margaret Walsh born December 1891, and also Kathleen Walshe born 1884, daughter of Michael Walsh. I believe these two ladies are sisters. I do not have a mothers name for them, but I do believe they had a sister Norah who would be my mother's mother. My own mother was taken into care when she was six years old in 1927 and has no idea what happened to her mother (Nora). It wasn't until she came to England in 1937 that she met her aunt Margaret who was by then married to an Englishman. I know that Kathleen and her father Michael were in the UK in 1913 (Kathleen's yearof marriage). I know this is all very vague, buthave beentry to find someone, somewhere who can help me find my mother's origins. Looking forward to any response, Thank you
