My grandmother Annie Webb Nee Walsh, father Maurice John Walsh and her four brothers — William, Charles, Maurice T and Gerald Walsh — all moved to Moose Jaw in the early 1900s.
William died under the Canadian flag in WWI ,aged 36.
I have created a fairly random but I hope useful web site for the family: http://www.djaw.co.uk/index.html.
The page about the Walsh’s, my grandmother’s family is this page: http://www.djaw.co.uk/page2.html
There is one hole in the research and that is finding more details and getting in contact with any family in Canada.
Any of the names that are underlined means it’s a hyperlink to typically more information.
I have struggled to get any real data; I know Charles had a son Maurice. I managed to find, for instance, Maurice my great Grandfather [as he must have] made enough impression to get an obituary in Canada and also back to the UK; it is on the website.
I have purchased access to worldwide research without any luck on this part of my ancestry.
Although it’s a real long shot, I would love to know if anyone has scrapbooks, letters and so on between the families UK and Canada.
I would really love to find family in Canada just in case they have information that would close a couple of gaps in the research.
My plan is to try and get to Canada, although of course not able to travel right now with coronavirus, visit Maurice’s grave and see the places they lived.
If you have any information or know of the family, please contact David Webb at djawebb15@gmail.com.
Thank you,
David Webb
