Additional information:
Captain Thomas Walsh was a brother of Captain Jeremiah Walsh (b.1815) of Dungarvan, who was a son-in-law of Captain Nathaniel Sutton (b.1794, Clonakilty). Thomas Walsh clearly states this vessel to be an 85t Cork ship in 1850 (UK M&M), but the first ship that fits that description is a Waterford ship on CLIP in 1858. That ship proves to be in the possession of Mrs. C Mahoney (spelling variant) of Williams St., Dungarvan on CLIP in 1867 and a fuller enhanced provenance of the ship can be found on CLIP in 1875/76. Captain Garrett (Gerald) Walsh (b.1844), Captain Jeremiah Walsh’s son, was married to Cecilia Mahony (b.1840) of Dungarvan on 30 Nov 1867. Her mother was Cecilia Mary
