The map below shows where I believe Patrick Walsh (possible father of John (Jack) Walsh) raised his family in the mid-1800s. The plot of land next to the Walsh land was occupied by a James Cauly (Cawley) at that time. I believe James Cawley is the possible father of Bridget Cawley who became the wife of John (Jack) Walsh.
When I was in Ireland in 2011, I remember my second cousin, Patrick O'Hara, standing on the Walsh (now O'Hara) property and pointing to the field and house next door and saying that is where Bridget Cawley lived with her brother Anthony.
I have just written to Patrick O'Hara to have him confirm the location of the two plots of land.
Also, of note on the map, is the piece of property marked as "McIntyre" in Lislea. The daughter of John Walsh and Bridget Cawley, Ellen Walsh, married Thomas McIntyre, who was born on this piece of property in 1878. Thomas and Ellen are my grandparents. You can read more about the McIntyre/Walsh union on a separate blog.
