I am searching for information on the family of James Welch of Derby (Birmingham) who was born around 1843 in Kilkenny Ireland and came to CT in 1859. He lived at 126 Hawkins St from 1870 to his death in 1906. He married Catherine Duffy (b abt.1841 Louth Ireland) in 1864. Their children were: Margaret 1865 Catherine 1867 Martin 1868 James 1871 un-named boy 1874 The mother died 3 days after the birth of this child, and I can find no trace of him in civil of church records. The 1880 census shows a 6 year old named Edmund Welch in an orphanage in New Haven( St Francis). But I can not get any information on him. James married Julie Hughes in 1875 and had the following children: Mary E (Lizzie) 1876 Thomas 1877 John 1882 Lizzie married James Carey in 1904. She had no children of her own and died in 1943. She did have 3 step sons. Frank Carey, Harold Carey and Joseph Carey Any information would be appreciated Bill in NJ
