Hi there, I am looking into my Great Grandparents Martha Walsh and James Leonard's Family, I have been trying to find out more about their parents mainly Martha's Father Michael Walsh as cannot find a birth for him or death along with her mother Eleanor Power.
On the Leonard's side I am trying to find Owen Leonard and Mary Flynn any details would be great if anyone can point where i could find them.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I'd be glad to assist. Can you provide some approximate dates on when Martha and James were born? Were the families from Elphin parish? Here is a link to the parish register http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0556

I located the birth or baptismal records for Martha and James. They were born later than I thought. I also found the 1901 and 1911 census records for each family. Note for some reason, James was not with his family in 1901 but is there in 1911. Maybe he was with a grandparent in 1901.
I will look for more information on the parents of Martha and James.
