I located Julia Welsh in the Pittsfield 1850 Census. (The only possible one in Berkshire County.) She was 22. Census date was 24 Sep 1850. She was probably just a boarder in the household. Edward Mountain was widowed by 1900, so no immigration record for her. I am trying to get the death images linked for her, and will let the list know what the death record says, if it becomes available.

I had one of the death images linked, the other is not available. The maiden and married names are correct, but father's name is different. Mother's name is still unknown, so I think this is the correct woman's death record. Age is on target. Vol: 391 ; Page: 66 No. 266 14 Sep 1888 Julia Mountain Female White Married Age 60y 11m Cause of death Chronic Bronchitis Res. Pittsfield Housewife born Ireland Father Richard Walsh Mother -- Both parents born in Ireland I would look at her children's names and see if one of the firstborn males is named Richard or John, and sort of use that as an imperfect guide to what her father's first name really was. [John was listed in the marriage record.] Good luck with your searching, Susan Daily On 3/7/07, Susan Daily <cullivans@gmail.com> wrote: > I located Julia Welsh in the Pittsfield 1850 Census.
