Notes:

I am interested in these postings re the Walshes in Plympton as I have been trying to find some link between several individuals.

My g-g-grandfather is the Walter Walsh (Catherine Melanson) you mention in your posting. He was born in Halifax, N.S. shortly after the family arrived from Ireland (parents Thomas Walsh and Mary Landrigan/Lonegan); unfortunately his parents died within a year and the children were apparently taken in by Catholic families. I have at least two individuals we believe are siblings (Martin Walsh Sr and Anne Walsh who also were raised inPlympton, N.S. but have been unable as yet to find proof of their relationship).

I have quite a bit of information on Walter and his descendants if interested. I am familiar with the houses you mention. There were actually three in a row in Plympton: the two you mention plus an additional one next door built by one of Walter's other sons, James ("Jim") Walsh who also resided in Massachusetts but travelled to Plympton. I recently found the gravesite for Walter's son John Pius Walsh in Port Hood, Cape Breton. Not much information is known about this particular individual.

I would be interested in ANY info you have.
