My Grandfather Edmund Walsh M Ellen Maher, left Ireland in 1927 for Long Island New York. Grandfather was RIC. After 10 trips to Ireland I've found no family there, nor any graves. I have been lucky enough to find cousins in Manchester, England where my grand uncle moved when he left the RIC. I have been searching for family members here in the US with no luck. I believe there are still Walshes in the Long Island area that are part of my family. Walsh and Maher are such common names that and yes, I've searched alternate spellings. Erin O'Mara (Walsh)-James
Erin Did you get Edmund Walsh's RIC record? What was his date of birth? When did he leave the RIC Have you tried searching form him on the 1901 and 1911 census? If you find him might give some clues Where and when did he marry Ellen Maher or do you know?
