Hello to all, I am trying to find any and all information on the family of ANTHONY WALSH, b. Nov. 1823 in Ireland, and according to census records, arrived in the US abt. 1843. He married HANNAH MCANDREW abt. 1858. She was born in Ireland in August, 1841 and came to the US in abt. 1851. They had eleven children, ten who survived to adulthood. Their names were; John, Bridget, Mary, Maggie, Joseph, Elizabeth, Ellen, James, William (died young), Susan and William A.. According to a court record in Macoupin County, IL dated Oct. 19, 1860, Anthony made oath in the district court of Sibley County, MN, July 1, 1857, that it was his intention to become a US Citizen. Anthony, Hannah and John appeared in the 1860 Federal Census, Macoupin County, IL along with their son John. I do not have access to the 1870 Federal Census for MN. They are not in the IL 1870 Federal Census. The family then appears in the 1880 Federal Census, Green Isle, Sibley County, MN, so Anthony, at least, returned to MN. I haven't been able to find Hannah, her parents, or their marriage record. Are there Naturalization records on file in Sibley County? Does anyone have access to marriage records for the county that would be willing to check for Anthony and Hannah? Also, two daughters, Bridget and Mary, were not listed with the family in the 1880 census. They became teachers. Would anyone know where they might have been attending school in MN during that time? This family moved to Big Stone City, SD before the 1900 Federal Census. Anthony died February 28, 1902 and I have not been able to find a date for Hannah's death. Any information or advice would be welcomed. Thank you in advance, Donna Price

There is nothing in my sources for either Walsh or Anthony. Bill Grimes Round Rock, TX
