bullet  General Notes:

It is likely that he emigrated before 1832 as his son Richard's son, John was born in Scotland in 1833,and Richard Welsh (grandson), living with them at the time of the 1841 & 1851 Census.

At the time of the 1841 Census he was living at 265 Old St, Creetown, Kirkmabreck, he was 60 years of age, a Labourer, recorded as born in England or Ireland. (His name was recorded as WELSHE at Scotlandspeople) Also living here were his wife Sarah, aged 60, also born in England or Ireland and male Richard (Grandson see below), aged 9, born in the County.

At the time of the 1851 Census he was living at 20 Harbour St, Creetown, Kirkmabreck, was recorded as 70 years of age, occupation Lodging House Keeper / Peat Cutter. His birthplace was listed as Ireland. Also living here was his wife Sarah, age 77, born Ireland; his grandson Richard, aged 18, no occupation, born Kirkmabreck; John Bolie, bookseller, 41, unmarried, a lodger; Hugh Poland, Besom Maker, 22, born Ireland, also a lodger along with his wife Mary Anne Poland, 21, born Ireland.

I can find no record of a birth of the grandson, Richard Welsh around 1832/1833. However, his death certificate (1866) records that he was an illegitmate son of Mary.
