Find Ancestors

Hi
I am trying to find my Walsh ancestry and am not doing very well. I have only reached a marriage dated 31st October 1882 between John Walsh and Amelia Tuby. I know these names to be correct as I remember them being mentioned years ago by my late parents. The marriage certificate states that John Walsh was 25 and a Blacksmith. His father (deceased) also John Walsh eas a Travbeller with Hearn Roundabouts. Amelia Mary Tuby was 23 though I have found her birth record for 1862 which would actually make her 20. Witnesses Nubert O' Hara and Mary Corrigan.

Here are John and Amelia on the 1891 census. I have found nothing before this at present. Thak you for reading this and hope you can help me
Regards Paul

So John Walsh Snior and Mary Jones probably born Ireland as elder children born there?

If you could help me search for the 1871 and 1881 censuses prior to John's mariage to Amelia Tuby that would be tremendous.
Thank you for your help so far Erika. I am well pleased

1861 which I posted from FMP clearly states that John snr and Mary, were born in Ireland

What was John's address when he married?

Looks like 4 Off Street, Leeds

I havent been able to find a birth either as yet!

Just googled it. There was an OFF STREET

You're unlikely to find a birth registration - there were no penalties for not registering until 1875

EDITED 13.15

Having said that.....................possibilities ONLY and may simply be coincidence. Need verifying
