I¹m trying to find a birth record for James Welch, born County Cork, emigated to the US around 1850 we believe. He was born around 1818-1822 to a Morris/Maurice Welch/Welsh/Walsh and a Mary McDonald, farmers. James had a brother John, born around 1814 who also emigrated. He was married to Bridget Coughlan/Coughlin, also born Co Cork, around 1820. To the best of my knowledge, the eldest children of James and Bridget were John, Morris, Ellen and Michael. Their children were all born in the US, beginning shortly after James and Bridget arrived in New Hampshire, likely via New York or Boston. Any assistance in finding birth, marriage or departure information for this couple would be much appreciated. Donna Welch Lexington Virginia USA

The 1900 census for Pembroke, Merrimack, NH has that James and Bridget immigrated in 1847. I couldn't find any record of them. In 1860 their children are John [10], Morris [9], James [7], Ellen [6], Michael [4], William [3] and Thomas [9 mo].

My primary genealogy research is on Walsh families from around Skibbereen in southwest County Cork. The key for you to finding information on your Welch family is knowing the townland they were born in. Otherwise the names are generally just too common. I've gone thru my BMD info for this area of Co Cork, and don't have anything for Maurice/Morris. This first name should be helpful to you as it's quite different. I have a Daniel Walsh that married an Ellen Coughlan in Skibbereen in 1840. I'll keep your email just in case I come across a Maurice in my research.
