Baptisms of the Children of Jack Walsh and Bridget Cawley

The children of Jack Walsh and Bridget Cawley that have been located were all baptized at St. Attracta Church in Toulestrane, Civil Parish of Kilmacteige, County Sligo.

In 2000, I transcribed the information from the parish register of baptisms 1845-1880, microfilm #0926015, Mormon Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah.  In 2014, Ancestry.com added images and indexes to its database covering the years 1864-1912.

All infants lived in the Townland of Knockahoney when baptized.
