Hello Sue
Thanks for your patience.
I looked up the Enniscorthy baptisms from Jan 1862 to Dec 1880 today and found the following baptisms for John Francis & Mary Darcy :
3 Sep 1874, Bridget, witnesses : Robert Tulwe (?) & Mary Francis
14 Feb 1879, Mary Kate, witnesses : Richard Farrell & Mary Hendriell (?)
18 Feb 1878, John Joseph, witnesses : John Francis & Mary Burke (born on 17th)
12 Mar 1880, Thomas, witnesses : David Flynn & Kate Browne (born on 10th)
There is also a note beside Thomas' birth record which states that he married Ellen Curtis in Bree 18/6/14.
I have copies of 3 of these baptisms and will scan them and post them here later today (or maybe tomorrow). I don't have a copy of John Joseph's baptismal record as it was too dark to print.
The parish records available to me only go up to 1880 so I won't be able to look for the remaining births to this couple. If you bear with me I will take a look for John Francis & Mary Darcy's marriage (probably around 1873) next week when I go back to look for my own ancestor's marriage around 1870.
By the way, the only information on the parish baptismal records is that which I have just given you and the priest's name. The civil registration records would show the father's occupation (if you don't know that already).
You may want to order the marriage record for Thomas Francis & Ellen Curtis in Bree in 1914. You can do this by post for euro 6 (specify you want a photocopy of the register) from the GRO in Roscommon. Here is the form you need to complete and the address to post it to.
