Notes and Comments
|
|
Birr
|
Birr parish records
commence rather late but this is compensated for somewhat by the
1821 Census of Ballybritt Barony
|
|
Clara
|
Note that marriage
records commenced much earlier than baptisms.
Missing records:
Deaths 1854-1864
|
|
Cloghan Banagher
|
Numerous missing baptism
records from 1812 to 1829. Marriages - few to 1820.
|
|
Clonbulloge
|
Often the mother's
maiden name is not given in the baptism records, which makes it
difficult to distinguish between some families with the same surname.
|
|
Clonmacnois
|
Missing records:
All records 1842-1848

Baptism records cease
in 1798 and recommence in 1820

|
Killeigh
|
Very large rural parish.
Records start rather late.The three churches in this parish (Killeigh,
Ballinagar and Raheen) kept seperate records at various stages.
While there are no obvious gaps in the baptism register, there
is a notable drop in the number of records from the early 1850s.
Marriage records are sporadic, eg. 1 in 1845 compared to 12 in
1860.
|
|
Kinnitty
|
Like Birr, Kinnitty's
relatively late start is compensated for by the 1821 Census of
