Michael Walsh (buried at St. John's in Enniskerry) seems to have worked on many
of the farms in the area of the Manotick Station Road. He shows up in different
households in various census. See another Michael Walsh from the Fitzroy area.

James Burns (Lot 11, Concession 3) was married to an Elizabeth Walsh. James O'Brien
from across the road was married to a Bridget Walsh. These Walsh's may all be connected

  Welch's Corners   
  ... ask a question:

  Hi Michael:
 
Thanks for this great material. I've added it to our Snake Island page .
 
There is a Tom Welsh mentioned in the article. Do you know where he lived? I remember 
you once told me of a Welsh's Corners. Is that in Osgoode or in Gloucester?
 
Thanks again.

  ... get an amazingly detailed reply from Mr. Michael Daley:

  The way it was told , by Michael  McEvoy of lot 17.con 3 ,in the Ottawa paper,                         
  Welch’s corner, out in Osgoode set at the foot of the school house hill, on the 
Prescott Road,[ now Stagecoach road ] got its name from  a gentleman by the name of 
Tom Welsh. Tom was single, and he loved to dance. Misfortune befell  Tom, one night 
while dancing his foot became entangled in woman’s hoop skirt, Tom fell to floor with 
a badly broken leg. Toms dancing days were over, he started a little store at the 
foot of  what became known as , Welch’s  Hill, he kept the necessities of life, and 
for socializing to make a living.     
    ===================================================               

   My brief memories , Welch’s  corner has been implanted in my memory , for       
the many times in my 80 some years on this planet  that I have traversed  this 	   
road,  I recall in the years of my youth of delving into the remains on the site     
, where the Welch cabin once stood,  the remains of what looked like  burnt timbers     
etc. are now but memory.      Tom Welch  born November 15 1868 in Ontario,       
to Michael and Bridget Walsh [ Welch] both born in Ireland.                                                          

In 1901 Thomas was living  with  my Great Uncle & Aunt, Thomas Grant and his wife 
Anne Daley, in Enniskerry,  [as a lodger] occupation , painter,  I do
recall Thomas coming here to redo our front door , in the 1930’s, stain it, I watched 
as he used , what I thought was a big comb, making a grain like finish on the door.                                                                                              The Grants had a general store in Enniskerry  for ... Michael Daleymany years.
