My great-grandfather John Hetherington married Kate Regan in August 1892 at Castlecomer. No ages are given on the marriage record I have, so I don't know how old he was. I have a handwritten slip of paper though (with "Parochial House, Castlecomer" typed in the top corner) giving the baptism of a John Hetherington in March 1860, parents John Hetherington and Margaret Carney.
The above slip is dated 1924, so I don't know how accurate it can be 64 years after the fact, but assuming this John is the same John who married Kate, does anyone have any other info on this family? I'd love to be able to flesh out this branch of my tree as it's looking rather barren at the moment.

Silverhawk- sounds as though the church baptismal record was a document needed to prove his age for pension entitlement as their were no birth certificates before 1864 and by 1924 many earlier census records were destroyed.

That's spot-on with the research I've done in the last three years. I'm grandson of Michael's sister, Margaret (or Peggy as she was known), so that makes us second cousins 
I remember contacting someone on the Hetherington branch one christmas a few years ago, but I lost the phone number. Apparently there were two siblings I never knew about?
