John Walsh married Fanny Feeney circa 1860.
They had ten children: John in 1861, Michael in 1863, Mary in 1865, James in 1867, Thomas
in 1869, William in 1871, Joseph in 1873, Fanny in 1875, Ellen in 1877 and Bridget in 1881.
The copies of the original records shown below include the baptismal records of John through
Ellen and the civil birth records for Ellen through Bridget.
Some of the baptismal records have numbers listed in the right margin. This was the charge
for the baptism. Most people paid 2/6 to 2/9. An occasional person paid 5 and some
people listed as "poor" or "workhouse" paid nothing.

Do stands for "ditto" or "the same".
