Harry Charles Walsh

Born in 1903 to Charles Sumner & Jennie B Walsh. Located in the 1920 census records as living on 221 Gross Street with his parents. Previous census records indicated that Harry was probably an only child. In 1920, Harry's father Charles S. was listed as a clerk in an Oil Refinery and 52 years old. His mother Jennie was listed as a homemaker and 38 years old.


I did find a Harry Charles Walsh in the 1930 census records as being married to Elizabeth and having a daughter Patricia. I know that Harry was married to Regina Cafferty. However, I am not sure if he did have a first wife whom he divorced and/or died. Harry is about fifteen years older than Regina.



Harry and Regina Cafferty Walsh had several daughters and one son. Their son Charles Sumner was named for his paternal grandfather. As I have written in earlier posts, Charles died in Vietnam at the age of 19 years old.



I also want to note that my grandmother and Regina had a close relationship up to Regina's death in the 1980's. Regina died from a brain tumor. It also should be noted that for many years Harry & Regina along with their children lived many years on Ridge Avenue in the East Falls section of Philadelphia.



Harry, Regina and Charles are interred at Beaverly National cemetery.
