Seeking information on Thomas Walsh born c1792 Gort, Loughrea, Galway & Mary (believed nee Winter) no dates, but believed from same area.They married in Loughrea in 1816 and were the parents of Bridget Walsh (1817) who I believe was born in Gortyloughlin, Moycullen, Galway.
Bridget (also known as Biddy) became the second wife of James Flyn(n) from Glinsk, Kilbegnet, Galway -his first being to Maria Conway (c1818) who he married in 1840 and sadly died 1841 after giving birth to Festy Flyn(n). James & Bridget married in 1841 in Glinsk, Kilbegnet, Galway. They later had a daughter Bridget Flynn in 1844 in Glinsk and together with other children John & Mary emigrated to England in the famine period (?1850's) and settled in Birmingham. James Flynn & Bridget (nee Walsh) were my great grandparents. James was a Tailor.
i have gradually built up information on James & Bridget, but am lacking details about Bridget's parents Thomas Walsh and his wife Mary, who I believe was Mary Winter and likely also from Loughrea. I also cannot trace what happend to Festus (Festy) Flynn from James' first marriage, as he was not with them when they settled in England.
If anyone has information that will help me further identify any of them I would be most appreciate to receive same
