Hi I just found out part of my family was bapitsed in Killaveney does anyone know when the records start and end when do they start from or how far can you go back on the records

Hi,

The baptism and marriage records for Killaveney go back to around 1800.

Do you know which townsland your ancestors were from?  I also have tenant records for much of the area for the 19th century (1827, 1839, 1848, 1850 & 1868)

i dont know but thats were there baptised

My ancestor James Mouls was baptised (RC) in Kilaveney in 1801. His parents' address is given on the IFHF as 'Ballinglin' (not the usual spelling, I know).
How would I be able to find the townland where they lived? Perhaps this is the kind of thing the Wicklow Family History Centre could help with?
When he married, in 1834, it was in Rathdrum. His daughter Elizabeth was baptised in Rathdrum in 1845. But Elizabeth gave her birthplace as Mucklow [Mucklagh]. From a map of around 1870, Mucklagh seems very close to the railway station for Ballinglen. I'm wondering why James would have gone all the way to Rathdrum for the baptism, if Kilaveney was closer.

Hi,

I checked the Ballinglen tenant records (going back to 1827) for the name Mouls/Moules but could not find any.  I also checked Ballybeg & Ballycummer which are nearby.  Unfortunately I do not have the records for Mucklagh but they do exist (you can find them at the National Library in Dublin).

Was James Mouls' wife from Rathdrum?  That would be the only reason I could think of that his daughter might be baptised there.

I also did a quick check of the local graveyard records but could not find any Moules there either.

Do you know James Mouls' mother's maiden-name?  That could be helpful for finding out more.

The surname Mouls/Moules is not common and seems to be mostly confined to Co. Wexford in this period - that could be another angle for tracing the family back.

Hi Shane,
I'm most grateful to you for your help. It sounds as if Ballinglen was not, as I had imagined, a place where the parents of James Mouls were well dug-in.
As regards his wife's possible preference for Rathdrum as a place she may have been familiar with, that's a likely factor. Her name was Elizabeth Murphy, and so far I've not tried to trace her birth (because of the surname being one that a lot of people shared). Given that Rathdrum is where she got married, she may well have been from there.
It's heartening to know that the Nationa Library has the records for Mucklagh. (Incidentally, I'm aware that in Co.Wicklow there's another Mucklagh, but it's in a more remote location, and I thought the proximity to Ballinglen made the more southerly Mucklagh a better bet.)
Again, many thanks. I greatly appreciate your response.
Best wishes,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Mucklagh and Ballinglen fall under the old Coolattin estate.  We are very lucky as they kept fantastic records of their tenants.

I notice from the IFHF website that there was another James Mouls baptised in Killaveney in 1826 who must have been a relation.  This record may give some more clues (if you have not already seen it).

There are great tenant records and rental documents in the NLI for the Coolattin estate.  Many of the documents go right back to the 1600s!  The tenant records give details on occupation, age, number of children etc so this could give you a good idea of how the Mouls family in Mucklagh lived.

I live in Cork myself so do not get to check these records as often as I would like.

Given that the Mouls name is very rare in the Killaveney parish, perhaps James Mouls' father married into a local family in the area?

The best of luck with your research,

Shane
