TODAY, members of the Walsh family in Australia - and those living in far-flung parts of the world - can trace ancestors to assorted towns and villages across the United Kingdom and back to the middle of the 19th century and beyond.
In recent years, Brian, Allen and Janet Walsh have compiled an impressive collection of ancestral anecdotes and information outlining the history of our forebears. Thank you!! The results of their considerable research, including pictures, supporting documents and maps, may be found below.

Remembered At Chewton
A Brief History on the Walsh Family Crest
By Gregory Walsh
This coat of arms was designed by me for a 3rd form graphics project and Uncle Allen Walsh helped me in the final stages.
Of course the three state flags - SA, VIC, NSW - indicate those states we had all lived in at that time. The Union Jack indicated our English and Scots heritage as did the Irish flag, and the Welsh flag, well, the only one who was Welsh was Auntie Anne who married into mum’s family, so should not really be part of it...
The kangaroo represents Australia as a whole. The three peaks indicate three hills (Highercomb) and the turd (!) in the corner indicated the best outline of mum and dad’s dam that I could draw!
P.S. Oh, the name “Highercomb” should have an “E” on the end, but Marty made the sign at the front gate at school, and at the time he spelt it without an “E” so the name stuck - without an “E” at the end!
