Life
Anastasia Walsh appears in our family tree as a daughter of Joseph Walsh and Anna Griffis, born in Bayonne on 24 November 1897 and deceased on 12 November 1971. This archive contains no civil, census, obituary, or cemetery record found so far that establishes those claims.
A search of the 1971 New Jersey death-index volume found the name Anastasia Walsh, but the quoted evidence does not include a matching index row. The family’s collateral funeral records also disagree on whether Anna Griffis’s husband was named John or Joseph Walsh. Anastasia’s married surname, if any, remains unknown.
How we know this: Weak: her details come from our family tree, and the index search did not yield a usable matching row. [1][2][3]

Bayonne and the Industrial Waterfront, 1870–1920

What Sponsors and Witnesses Can Tell Us
Catholic registers often preserve the people standing just outside a family photograph. A baptism normally names the child, parents, date and sponsors or godparents; a marriage normally names the couple and wit…

The year 1864 is the dividing line in this family’s Irish paper trail. Civil registration began in 1845 for non-Catholic and civil marriages, but from 1 January 1864 the law required registration of all births,…
Farmers and Labourers in North Cork
Two words in the Cork records—“farmer” and “labourer”—describe different positions in the same rural economy. When John Fitzgerald married Margaret Fraher at Kildorrery in 1870, the register called John, his fa…

What we still don't know
- Independent confirmation of her birth and death
- Whether Joseph or John Walsh was her father

- Her occupation, residences, and burial place
- Discover a married surname through the Mt. Olivet lot ledger, siblings’ obituaries, or a Bayonne marriage index; then repeat the 12 November 1971 search under that surname.
