Listers, I have to share my good news. About two weeks ago I received an email -out of the blue - from a man who said his grandfather and my grandfather were likely brothers. We compared some notes and it turned out that he was right! His email was in response to a posting I placed in 2002 (yes, four years ago!) on the Fethard.com website, asking for information about any Walshes from Ballydonnell, Mullinahone, Co Tipp. I'm still reeling from it, as this is the first Walsh I've been able to find. His mother was the godchild of my grandparents. She's 84 and still living in England. I should say, never give up, as this really came to me from a posting over 4 years old, so you never know!
