In
an attempt to find death records of two of the sons of John WALSH &
Bridget GARVIN, Martin and John, I searched New York City, New York,

City birth, death and marriage records have been digitized recently and
are available at: https:a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov

State marriage index to fill in the life of John WALSH. John was born
February 1866 in County Mayo and died 12 April 1911 in Bronx, New York
City, New York, U.S. John married Bridget McDERBY 15 October 1893 Kings
