Ellen Walsh's Baptismal Record, 1881

Ancestry.com just put up thousands of Irish church records.  I finally found my grandmother's baptismal record, June 19, 1881.  Yea!

Tourlestrane Parish, County Sligo. Baptismal Record, 1881. Page 43, entry 34.  Ancestry.com, accessed March 14, 2014

The last entry on the page reads:

                                                               June

19    John Walsh                                                   Thomas Cawley
        Bridget Carney (sic)       Ellen                        Bridget Cawley           Knockahoney

Thomas and Bridget Cawley were Ellen's godparents.

Of note: During the first couple of decades when civil birth certificates were required to be filed within 3 months of a birth, or be fined, many parents gave the birthdate of their child much later than actual.  In Ellen's case, her birthdate is recorded as  October 12, 1881 on her civil birth certificate, yet she was baptized on June 19, 1881.  Just love the Irish!
