Hello,
I am looking for information about my paternal great-grandmother Della Walsh, in some US census records her name is listed as Delia or Emma O’Dell. She was married to William Walsh, they lived in West Hartford, Connecticut.
She was born in 1884 in Ireland, possibly in Roscommon. She emigrated to the US in 1896. In one recited her parents are listed as Patrick and Margaret (Croughwell) Morrissey, both born in Ireland.
I have exhausted all my resources and wondering if anyone can help. I would love to find out where Delia was born and where her parents were from.
Thank you,
Nikki
