Hi Jenny,

Thank you for your message.

I found a record of Richard Walsh in Lickfinn parish in 1834, the year he was transported..I wonder if this is your Richard?

Here are the other Walshs that were listed in the same parish:

You can see the record of Mary?s petition over here:

Records there start as early as 1742, unfortunately however there are none available online. You can see at the above link where copies are available from. Alternatively you could try writing to the local parish priest for some possible assistance.

Hi Jenny

I'm researching Catherine Walsh who is one of the daughters of Richard Walsh and Mary Cantwell. Catherine married Thomas Phelan in Camden Abt. 1845 and was, like Richard Walsh, transported for "cattle maiming. I would be very interested in exchanging information with you. 

Regards

Stephen
