Catherine Walsh/ O'Brien family in county Mayo.

Hello Katherine. I'm also a descendant of James Walsh through his son Ransom. 
 

 

Hello Katherine.
I believe my 3rd g-grandfather Ransom Walsh was a brother of Catherine and Bridget. Bridget did marry Thomas Gibbons and they immigrated to the U.S. One of their sons was James Cardinal Gibbons. You can find a lot about him through a web search, for example http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/People/James_Gibbons/ELLxLCG/1*.html. Ransom's family also immigrated to the U.S. I don't know anything about Catherine. I'm looking for information on their father James and their mother (name?). No luck yet. 

Regards, Catherine Goodman

Hello Catherine Goodman.

I just received your message with your information.  I was beginning to give up on receiving any information at all regarding Catherine Walsh.  I have been trying to find genealogical information on Cardinal James Gibbons, but, that has proven to be difficult as well.  I do appreciate the link you sent me and will definitely look at it.  Where did Ransom Walsh immigrate to in the U.S.?  Catherine Walsh's daughter (Bridget O'Brien- married name Clark) immigrated to Maryland in the U.S.  I will continue searching and with any luck will stumble upon something which I will share with you.  Thank you again for this information.

Sincerely, Katherine Pitts
