The photo found in Maime's (Tierney) Scrapbook...not dated & showed a fakmily of seven - with the title "The boys Richard, Emmett, Frank, Kenny, Mae & THE OLD Folks"
I assigned on Aug. 13, 1998, this group to Richard Walsh II
____________
Maime had an address card with the following:
"Mrs. R. Walsh, 10 Cartier Street, Manchester, NH"

When I looked this street up on my "Street Atlas Program" I found # 10 Cartier St. in the Town of Manchester @ the intersection of Walsh Street.......strange Eh !!!!....I think so

I assume from the SSDI that they later moved outside the Town of Manchester to Bedford, Hillsborough NH.
