We are staying at Annaharvey Farm 4th to 7th August.
Hope to find out more about Matthew WALSHE, his wife, Catherine "Kate" O'CONNOR and their family.
In 1864 they lived at 107 Main St, Philipstown, on property leased by James CONNOR (a relation to Ann?)
Two of their sons, James & Thomas John, migrated to Australia in the late 1860's.
Other children were Ann, Margaret, Catherine, Matthew, Mary & Patrick.
