Person:Unknown Walsh (9)

Mr. Walsh lived in Ireland during the 1800s, born during the first half of the century. He probably lived in the county of Limerick. He had at least two children, John Walsh, born in 1848, and Edmund Walsh, born in Limerick in 1857.

(Walsh is one of the most common surnames in Ireland, and has its roots in the Welsh and Welsh-Normand families who migrated to Ireland hundreds of years ago, often in the wake of invasions. It is a variation of the word Welsh. We can infer the existence of this particular Walsh because descendants of John and Edmund Walsh have found common ancestry via DNA testing.)
