I am looking for Walsh family from Aughagower-Mayo. My great grandfather was James J. Walsh. Born in 1880's. Emigrated to USA, where he met/ married Mary Ellen McGing. They had 5 children including my grandmother Mary T. Walsh, Fr.Thomas F. Walsh, Fr. Michael Leo Walsh, Vincent I. Walsh, and James Walsh. My great grandparents established their family in Philadelphia, PA. 2 of my great uncles were R.C. priests from the Philadelphia Archdiocese. Both had traveled to Ireland in or around the 1980s. Any information greatly appreciated.

Ann Marie:
I'm assuming your great-grandfather left Ireland after March 31st, 1901 when the 1901 census was taken. There were 39 Walsh families in Aghagower parish in the 1901 census. I found 3 where there was a James who was born in the 1880s. Do you have his death record which should show his parents names? How about names of his siblings?
