Johanna Flinn or Flynn (born 1820 Tipperary, died 1888) or Flynn with 4 Walsh children left in Ireland

Hello again Jack!

I looked on Roots Ireland from 1838 -1848 for any Walsh baptismal records in Co. Tipperary where the mother's surname was Flynn. A few records popped up but the names did not match any of the four mentioned in your message.

Roots Ireland does not have records for some of the parishes in the Diocese of Cashel and Emly in Tipperary so their records are not all inclusive.

There were five Johanna Flynn baptismal records around 1820 but without knowing her parents names, there is no way to confirm any of these records.

Is there access to marriage records around 1837 that might give some clues on family, like the father's name.  Johanna (also known in some USA records as Hanna) Flynn or Flinn to ??? Walsh.  I am estimating a wedding date based on my guesses as to when the Walsh kids would have been born.

Hi Jack, Tipperary Family History Research may be able to help you.

They look up Catholic Marriages and Baptisms in the Diocese of Cashel and Emly for a small fee their e-mail is  research@thr.org   Nenagh in north Tipp have similar facility as some parishes there are in Diocese of Killaloe.

Best of luck.  Let me know how you get on.

Christina.

Thanks Christina.  I'll try that route for info.

Hi, you said you have info from when She came here. Look at those records first. The census will tell you where she is from Ireland sometimes it will say Republic or North or might even had location as you said Tipperary or a town name.

Then see if you can find the ship she came on that will definetly have a praent name or the townland. there are two pages to ship records so the second pg would have info.

Now see if she has a middle name, it is possible that Johanna is her middle name.  I have several aunts who only used their middle name and my Mom always used that name for them. I did not know their real name until 2008.  So when looking for records I would use the last name only and see if anything comes up for Johanna or Hanna as a first or second name.

Look on Irishgeaneology.ie it is a free site to see if you can find somethng for tipperary.  Do you have the townland or no?.

I will look a little for you to see if I find anything.   fidmypast.ie is a very good site I think it is 9.00 a month and you cancel anytime. I used that site to find so much information and cancelled when I was done.  

good luck
