Anglican baptisms in RC Ireland?

[MarkyP]

Hello, just a quick general question if possible?

Where would an Anglican English Coastguard Officer get his children baptised when stationed in Ireland in the 1830-1840s? I'm guessing it wouldn't be at the local RC church, would it be a matter of waiting until he got back to England? This particular officer was stationed at Lacken in County Sligo from 1833 to 1841 and had 4 children while he was out there.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Cheers, Mark.

The baptisms probably took place at the local Church of Ireland.

Here's a link to the C. of I. website showing current parishes and churches-

The Church of Ireland was and still is Anglican.  The local CoI is Ballycastle, Co Mayo (part of what is now northern Co Mayo was in Co Sligo until boundary changes in 1899)

Hi,
There was a coastguard at Lacken which was and is County Mayo.
There is a Lackan, Kilglass civil parish, Sligo. I think there may have been a station around there at Dromore West?
However, there would be C of I churches in the wider area as Aghadowey has linked.

There was a coastguard station located about 6km north east of the town Ballycastle Co. Mayo and in the townland of Moyny. I think this is the one reffered to as Lackan as the ADM175/18 list shows this station as 'Lackin', and between Ballycastle and Kilcummen stations, which fits.

see : CG Station Moyny townland

The station closed soon after 1843.

Moyny townland is in a civil parish named Kilbride which in the 1830s was part of a Union with the CofI parish of Doonfeney/Dunfeeny. The parish church seems to have been located in the town of Ballycastle.

Hi Shane,
That link doesn't work but is not the one I mean. There was one in Castletown, Beltra area on the edge of Lackan (Lacken) strand but as that was Mayo, it is probably not the one Mark means.
I just posted because of the earlier reference to boundary changes.

would your Coastguard ancestor be surname Reymond ?

see the Beltra you mean now, near Rathlackan and Lackan Strand - I was looking at the wrong one, further east in Co. Sligo.

That's very close to the CG station I mentioned, which even though it's in Mayo is listed in CG records as Sligo, as these are listed by port. (Later records for this part of the coast list the port as Ballina) The district shown for this Lackin/Lacken station is Ballycastle.

I was thinking that Mark means Lacken in Kilglass parish, Sligo.
However, as these others were, I suppose, 'sub- stations' perhaps as you say they came under the title of Sligo.
There was also one just around the headland at Kilcummin.
I hope Mark comes back with some clarification.,
