Townland of Fildarrig

[KATE1001]

Hi, they did have at least one move at that was to the townland of Cashloura in Drinagh.  They may have moved to Foildarrig in the parish of Killaconenagh but the baptismal record was recorded in Kilmacabea's parish register, so it is a bit of a mystery.

One does not have to hold a baptism in their Parish.... they might have lived in one Parish and attended Church in another, which might have been nearer!

Hi, it quiet a distance from the parish of Kilmacabea to Foildarrig, Killaconenagh it takes about 2 and half hours by car today. I may ask the Skibbereen Heritage Centre if they hold any records for Fildarrig.

She may have gone to stay with family for the birth, although in fairness it more usual for a family member to go to her.

Don't see what the problem is if he was from there!
