I am looking for ancestors in Aghada, Kent and Moosejaw Canada.
My great great grandfather was William James Walsh only have his wifes christian name Ellen or Elisa.
They came to England where William joined the British navy .had 8 children I know they where here by 1836 as the first child born was in the Isle of Wight, Eliza. He is reputed t have been one of the last men alive from the battle for Greek independence, Navarino.
My my two interests are who William married, I believe in Aghada but not certain as I have failed to find anything. Then onto his son Maurie John Walsh, he was also in the Nvay and coastguard, emigrated to Moosejaw, Canada, over a period of several years all the four sons came over, the two daughters including my nan Annie Georgina Walsh and her sister Ellen stayed in the UK, not certain why.
Would love to hear from any relatives especially in Moosejaw and Aghada and of course Sheppey in Kent and the surrounding area to see if I can find out more.
I have my own ancestry web site http://www.webbonweb.com/index.html
This has more detail, the site is not perfect but it was my first and does have a lot of data but a lot missing as well, any help would be appreciated. Thanks David Webb

Hello David if you look at www.rootsireland.ie (Pay to view site) it is showing a Marriage for a William Walsh in 1835. Also showing Baptism records that fit your criteria in Aghada RC Parish.
