Biographical Notes

Armidale. Rev. Father J. Walsh Returning to Ireland, Catholic Weekly, Sydney, 28 February 1946, p 20, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article146480902:

The Rev. Father John Walsh, lately priest in charge of Werris Creek parish, is returning to his home in Waterford, a southern county of Ireland. Father Walsh came to Australia eight years ago, intending to return after a period of five years in the Armidale Diocese. After spending six months in the parish of Walcha, he was sent to Gunnedah, where he was of great assistance to Father Keane, who at that time was in ill-health. During three years at Moree, his next parish, he became well known among the residents of Pallamallawa, Bellata and Biniguy, as well as the citizens of Moree. He later succeeded the Rev. Father J. McDermott at Werris Creek. [...]
