Hi Jill

There are 8 baptism records of Martin Walsh 1845 Mayo on www.rootsireland.ie/

Two of them are from Balla RC parish

You need to purchase credit to view the full record on rootsireland which MAY have the parents' names (some do / some don't).

If you search and get the 8 Martin Walsh 1845 baptisms (1 credit) - see below - you click on the magnifying glass at the end of the first record and you'll get a Parish/District blank line with a down arrow; click the down arrow and select Balla RC; the 2 records will then be displayed for another credit.

I don't think the death records go up to 1940 so couldn't find him.

Jill:


I'm wondering if the date of birth for Martin is too early. The only death index record for a Martin Walsh in the Castlebar registration district (which includes Balla parish) shows a date of birth of 1857. Also the only Martin Walsh that I could find in the 1911 census was shows as 46 years old which would correspond to  an 1864 date of birth.http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Balla/Ballyclogher/710900/ Granted the ages for the census or the death record may not have been accurate. Did your Martin marry a Mary? If you want to pursue getting a copy of the 1941 death record from the GRO let me know and I will explain the process.
