I am searching for information about Peter Welsh who was born about 1839, and emigrated from County Mayo to Wilmingon, Delaware in 1854.

He was married to Bridget Regan on 08/26/1860 in Roscommon. 

DNA results show our Irish connection is in the Province of Connaught region.

Peter's parents names are Augustine and Margaret Brennan Welsh.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thank you,

  • Nancy:

    I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find a Peter Welsh/Walsh baptismal record around 1839 with the parents names provided. Likely he was baptized in a parish which no longer has records back to 1839.

    You mentioned that Peter married Bridget Regan in 1860 in Roscommon. I did not locate a Peter Walsh marriage to a Regan around 1860.

    I also did not find a record for an Augustine Welsh/Walsh in the 1855 Griffiths Valuation.

    You may want to consider DNA testing.

  • Hi Roger, 

    Thank you for doing a search. I appreciate your time and you volunteering to help others. We did do DNA testing, and as I mentioned in my message the results said our ancestors are from the Connaught region. I will keep trying to find my relatives.

    Thanks again,

    Nancy Kemper
