Though it doesn't appear to match the word precisely, here is a possibility: Stadalt townland, in the parish of Stamullin, county Meath. Griffith's Valuation shows a William Walsh at that townland in 1855. www.failteromhat.com Alternate spellings include "Stidalt" and "Stydalt". http://www.archive.org/stream/registerofwillsi00royarich/registerofwillsi00royarich_djvu.txt What do other soc.genealogy.ireland readers think of this as a candidate in Patrice's search for his elusive Walsh ancestors? Cheers, Alison
