Regarding the above query, there is a Mary Dalton born to Matthew Dalton & Catherine Byrne at Waterford City (Yellow Road )10/7/1859. Is this relevant ? Can't say that I have ever heard Dalton changing to Alton but then there is always exceptions. I cannot find any Birdhill, Tipp connection though.The prename Matthew is not that common in the Irish Daltons. regards C.

thanks for your input I will follow it up.
I have Bridget now Alton born in Bird Hill Newport 1888, but can not trace her again till 1911 census no other records available.
her dad Mathew Dalton is Down as being from Waterford he is still a Dalton on his marraige cert then his children are Altons, as is he and his brother John 1911 census.
strange
regards and again thanks for your help
