I am searching for information about the WALSH / STARKEY families from DOWNPATRICK, County Down. My G-G-G Grandfather NICHOLAS WALSH (c.1830) was a butcher in the town. His son PATRICK WALSH (c.1850) also a butcher, married Margaret STARKEY in 1874.

Please can you help?

I was searching for my relations from Downpatrick and I sent an e-mail to :
[email protected]
They posted my letter in the newspaper and the family got in touch after 35 yrs. I will ask them if they have any info as they are still there. Also a chap called James from DP got in touch with a lot of information.
Good Luck. Trisha

Hello There
Hoping this gets to you. Ive seen your old post on Genes Reunited from 2008. Most of my family are from Down Patrick. I am a STARKEY. My GG Grandfather was from Down Patrick his name was John Starkey, his son Steven Starkey was born there as well. Steven immigrated to Australia. So I am the connection to the Australian & New Zealand connection of the Downpatrick Starkey's
Hope I get to hear from you,

Patricia is no longer a member of GR, although the original poster seems still to have an account. However, she didn’t bother to acknowledge Patricia’s messages, so can’t have been very interested.
