We have since learned that the original St. Patrick's Church in Digby was a small chapel, built in 1843 "on the hill above the town". Does anyone know where this *original* Digby St. Patrick's Catholic Church was located, and if there was a cemetery associated with it? It is possible that Martin and Suzanne Walsh are buried there. Martin and Suzanne Walsh were the parents of Martin L. Walsh (1864-1935), later known as Capt. Marty Welch of Gloucester. website at http://hgea01.hgea.org/~twelch/
