Hello dathai

Thanks so much for that: you must have wonderful eyes.  :o I'm afraid mine aren't terribly good...

From what I know there are still 2 children who have not been located.  The first is their son James who may well have been born in 1847 according to his age at death.  There is also Bridget and I nothing about her so far but in order of sequence she may have been the second born.

Currently there is a gap between when James was born about 1847 and Austin in 1952 so just maybe this is when Bridget was born. 

It was the middle of the Potato Famine when James was born so just maybe Bridget was another casualty?  I think they did remarkably to have kept the number of children alive as so many others died. :'(

Hi Westy
Take note of date of start of Baptisms not much hope of finding any for James or Bridget
