My great grandfather John Walsh was born in Oct 1875 at Spruce Hill Roscrea Tipperary. His parents were James Walsh and Bridget Ryan according to the information he put on his marriage license in NYC in 1900.
He emigrated to NYC in November 1896. The story he told his son, my grandfather was that his parents James and Bridget were being evicted and one of the soldiers hit Bridget. John supposedly tried to retaliate, shot the soldier and left "on the run" when he got to NYC he found out thasoldier but could never return to Ireland.
