My grandfather,Patrick Walsh,was born in Sligo(1883). His father was Thomas Walshand mother was Bridget Wimsey. I am looking for graves, relatives any info. I know they were from Tullanagug.Thomas and Bridget were married in Tubercurry in 1882.
Karen:
I could not tell from your note whether or not you had the 1901 and 1911 census records for the family which are below. Eight children.
I looked for a civil death index records for Thomas and Bridget but there were too many possibilities in the Tobercurry registration district to determine the correct record.
I did locate the civil marriage index record. if you don't have it, you can get a copy from the General Register Office for around 4 euros. The record will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom were living in 1882. Let me know if you need instructions to get a copy of the record.

Karen,
I don?t know how well you studied the 1901 & 1911 censuses but you will see that there were in fact 10 Walsh households there in 1911. They may well all be related to each other but you would obviously need to do a bit of research to explore that.

There are 3 Walsh households in Tullanaglug listed in the current phone book. So you might want to get in touch with them.
