I'm sorry but I don 't know what you mean by "gets blocked"

If you already make a subscription to Ancestry you won't need to view via Mundia

Robert Walsh born 1860 got married in 1896. His father was Thomas Taylor Walsh, and his witness was also Sarah Jane Walsh.

So it look like you're following the correct family.

In 1861, your Walsh family are living next door to John and Betty Walsh, so this seems to tie in with the baptism you found.

Not sure why they're calling themselves Walsh and not Taylor though.

My guess would be that the 1871 census is meant to be Thomas, but was mistranscribed when transferred to the census form.

You won't be able to find a birth registration for Thomas, as he was born before civil registrations came about in 1837.

What is your actual question, please.....................

I am just wondering if I could get some help with these names.

Margaret Walsh 1871-1917 marriage certificate states Thomas Taylor Walsh as Father but cannot seem to find a concrete record for him?

Also states Margaret being 26 at time of Marriage on 30 Oct 1897 living at 15 Franklin Street.
Witnesses where a George Wade and Sarah Jane Walsh where I assume Sarah Jane Walsh would be Margaret's Sister?

Anyways went back to 1891 Census which has Margaret Walsh with Mum whom is Sarah Walsh D.O.B:- 1837, Brother Robert Walsh D.O.B:- 1860 and Sister Sarah Jane Walsh D.O.B:- 1874

1881 Census:- Sarah Walsh 1837, Robert Walsh 1860, William Walsh 1867 and Sarah Jane 1874. 15 Franklin St.

1871 Census:- Sarah Walsh 1837, Robert Walsh 1860, William Walsh 1867 and a Betsy Ann Walsh 1870 but Father is a James Taylor Walsh 1832. 17 Franklin St.

1861 Census: Sarah Walsh 1837, Robert 1860 but Father Thomas Walsh. 22 Lumb St.

On LancashireBmd maiden name for the children is Walsh, so I put in a Marriage Record in and it comes up with:-

WALSH Sarah TAYLOR Thomas Walsh Darwen, St Peter (formerly Holy Trinity) Blackburn

There is a death Record for a Thomas Taylor Walsh 1873 age 38 but no Birth Record.

There is a Baptism Record for a Thomas Taylor Walsh;-
Baptism: 5 May 1833 Darwen Chapel (Now St James), Darwen, Lancashire, England
Thomas Taylor Walsh (now Taylor) - Son of Betty Walsh (now Taylor)
Abode: Over Darwen
Occupation: Weaver
Notes: Illeg: son of reputed father James Taylor.
Baptised by: Hy Dunderdale
Register: Baptisms 1830 - 1836 BT, Page 33, Entry 1525
Source: LDS Film 1656734.

Also thought that Sarah Walsh 1837 Parents could be a William Walsh and Ann Kirkham which seemed to have fitted until there was an Mary Walsh 1853.

I know I must have gone wrong somewhere, all help greatly appreciated.
