Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. 

While we do our best to connect people on our site, this connection is usually with descendants of those who left Ireland during and after the famine and distant relations of the original family who may have remained. Usually our research  focuses on those prior to 1913.

 

In order to protect the privacy of those who may still be living we ask our volunteers and users to abide by the 100 year rule, thereby not providing information about individuals without their express consent. The latest available online records are the Census of 1901 and 1911 below and the index of births, marriages and deaths available to view for free at www.irishgenealogy.ie

HI There

I just read your post - my Granny was Lille Sheridan and she lived in Friary Avenue.  My mother is still alive (aged 86).  I have done a lot of work on my family tree so I would love to find out anything that you may know or give you any info I have.  My grandfather James (married to Lillie) had a sister called Mary (but known as Katherine I think) and Mammy told me that she married  a Joe Walsh and lived on church street - is this your family?

Best regards

Ann

Hello again

I was talking to my mother Marie Sheridan (daughter of the Lillie you referred to) earlier  - she remembers your mum Agnes Walsh very well and your Grandfather Joe Walsh who she told me was very  involved in the trade union movement.  She remembered that your mum went to live in America. I remember very well meeting John Walsh many times as a kid -he would have been you mum's brother. I would be happy to meet you as would my mum when you come over in the Autumn,

Ann

I would love for you to send my email to my family so we can connect. I have spent years looking and trying to connect with them. My late mom was not one to keep in touch with family I on the other hand want to be part of family it very important to me. So and help you can provide would be great. Thank You

Hi Ann  I am so excited to make contact with family. My late mother was not one to do this so I guess I take after my late father. I have given permission to IrelandXO to forward you my email address so we can get in touch. Since the passing of my late husband David in 2010 I have travelled back to Ireland each year looking for family without any success. IrelandXO was my last ditch effort to find you all. Once I read you message and had a crying fit I was ok and happy to connect with you all. Who knew that this would happen. I am living right now with my brother in Middletown NY which is 50 miles outside New York City. As I said I am planning to go over to Ireland in the Fall and would truly love to meet you all. Now here is a questions do you have any information on Aunt Maggie in Annagassan Co. Louth. God Bless Mary
