Hi Evelyn,
I have sent your posting to a lady in New Zealand, with the following information.
​Have a look at these sites and you will be able to get more info.
 

The site for info.
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie

this is what you will see and it's free.
This is Patrick's death see below, if you copy and paste the link into google/search you will see the document. Note that his son Patrick was present at his death.
Catherine's death is in the site but not the image. These are being updated all the time.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…

This next record is the 1901 Census of Ireland this is Patrick's family (that is the son Patrick) he has passed on now, but if you spend a bit of time on the above site you will find his marriage and death. Also all the births of the children.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Ardfinnan/Lo…
both of these sites are free.

After you have looked at these, if you are a member of Ancestry, FamilySearch, Find My Past etc, search each name and you may find tree.
It's just a matter of keep digging.
if you need any help please come back to me.
Cheers
Margot

Thankyou so much for that information Margot. A great help and much appreciated. I do belong to quite a few ancestry sites but this was a new one that I didn’t know about. Thanks again

Hi,
​The lady in NZ knows you and will be contacting you.
​I will be searching for other info for her but she will pass it on to you.

I have one full page about Walch changed to "Walsh" my ancestor was Lily Walch Smith--immigrated from Antrium Co., Ireland to Indiana County, Pennsylvania and should be on the 1840 census there. Her sisters and brothers were--Joshua, William, Daniel, and one other I do not have his name. They moved to Rock Island, Illinois in 1859.  I believe William served in the Union Army.

Her parents were Thomas C. (a tailor)  and Lily (Hopkins) Walch--this is pulbished in a genealogy book published by Judy Webb, "Clement Drew and Mary Thompson", 1979.  I have nothing more history, just forward as of now.
