Mitchelstown - Patrick Kiely & Johanna O'Donnell - Catholic or Protestant??
« on: Wednesday 03 February 16 00:09 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am researching a relative of mine and I have found that on Roots Ireland Cork there are two baptism records for each of her children one Catholic, the other Protestant. This is very confusing?
Patrick Kiely married Johanna O'Donnell in GALBALLY & AHERLOW parish, Co. Limerick on 13 Feb 1873, both are listed as Roman Catholic. Their children Mary (baptized 1876), Jane (baptized 1881) and Bridget (baptized 1883) all have a catholic and protestant baptism cert - would anyone have any idea why this is? Is this a records error?

Are you looking at original records (civil or church marriage details?) or transcribed details from a pay site?

Roots Ireland - it's a paid site, but I have obtained countless records off the site and have never seen anything like this before

Are there exact dates of baptism listed for each church?

The Catholic registers are online here (free). Unfortunately the baptisms only go up to 1872 but marriages are a bit later so you could check the parents marriage to see if there's any indication of a mixed marriage.
