The Walsh Connection - Marriage and Death Records

Mary's marriage record gives us a bit more information.  Mary McCann and Martin Walsh where married on April 16th, 1854.  Mary was age 16 and Martin was 36.  This was Martin's second marriage, so it may be that the Thomas and Martin were Martin's children from a first marriage.  This places Martin's immigration date between 1851 and 1855.  Mary's parent's are listed as George and Mary McCann.  This was a catholic ceremony, and therefore, Mary was the other catholic in the family.

According to her death certificate, she died on October 11th, 1885 of Heart Disease.  She was 45 years old.   There are a couple of discrepancies.  It says she was born in Pittsfield, MA and that her parents were John and Mary McCann.  I don't believe this is correct information.
