What is recorded here
John Walsh is a birthplace in Mooncoin, County Kilkenny, Ireland. Perhaps a boy born in 1830 ran barefoot through Kilkenny grass before crossing oceans to become a Canadian archbishop. Maybe his childhood hands knew soil before they held religious authority. Imagine a small Irish farm producing one of Canada's highest church leaders.
Why this person is known: Roman Catholic archbishop in Canada (1830-1898)
