Here's what I know: My great great grandfather was Patrick Welsh (sometimes spelled Walsh) from somewhere in Kilkenny. He married Anastasia Lennigan (sp?) and they emigrated with a son Joseph, to Howe Island, Ontario Canada sometime between 1841 and 1845. They were both Roman Catholic. I haven't been able to determine where in Kilkenny they lived, or who their parents were, or what ship they emigrated on. Hope you can help. :)
