Daniel Walsh/Ellen Harris family

TipperaryMagorban (Tipperary)

After much searching, I found some records on Ancestry listing a Daniel Walsh and Ellen Harris as parents in baptismal records. Of the four children that I had knowledge of I found records for all. Richard Walsh matches exactly with birth info that I had. The other 3 that I knew about Daniel, James and John (my gg grandfather) birthdates were within a couple of years. Those records also indicated 4 other children Thomas, William, Patrick and Mary. I have records from St. Louis, MO for Ellen and all 4 boys. They settled in St. Louis MO and I start picking them up in the 1860 census records. I can find nothing on Daniel their father or the other children found in the records from this parish. The records do mention that they lived in the Fookstown area. If you can help with any other information I would appreciate it. Thanks

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The townland was Foulkstown in Magorban civil parish.

The 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Magorban civil parish does show a Daniel Walsh in Foulkstown. There is also a Denis Walsh and a John Jr. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/tipperary/magorban.htm

Civil registration of deaths started in 1864. I looked for a civil death index record in the Cashel registration district. I located one record in 1883. First name(s)DanielLast nameWalsheAge at death76Birth year1807Registered year1883Registered quarter/yearJul - Sep 1883Registration districtCashelVolume3Page297CountyTipperary

I looked up this record on Roots Ireland and it was for a Daniel Walsh in Graystown. The informant was a Johanna Walsh. The record may be for a different Daniel Walsh. Graystown is just to the north of Magorban so maybe Ellen died and he remarried or Ellen is Johanna. The 1901 census for Foulkstown does not show any Walsh records. There are two Walsh families in Graystown in the 1901 census.
