On Thomas' birth cert it says Patrickswell, Kilkeedy (Patrickswell isn't it Kilkeedy as far as I can see maybe something to do with Reg sub districts) in the Reg district of Clarina.
On family search it says he was christened Clarina which is in the Civil Parish of Kilkeedy (townland Ballybrown)
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FPYR-XXH
so you would expect to find his baptism in St. Munchin's but I don't see it.
http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0896

John is also listed as Clarina as well.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F554-9JX
so begs the question, where did FamilySearch get these records, could they be COI baptism or did they use a different parish or do I just need my eyes tested?

I have came across these as well sinann, it can be a bit all over the place at times. I was getting a bit lost when it came to townlands, parishes etc.

dathai, merrick7, sinann

Thanks again for all your help, I reckon you must be doctors being able to read some of the old writing lol.

So, given all that you guys have kindly unearthed for me along with what I already know would you say it is unlikely I will be able to find out anymore about James Anderson & Mary Dignan's birthplaces?

It has been said to me previously by others that Dignan more than likely came down from the Roscommon area and that Anderson has been in Limerick for a long time. My grandfather John who was born in Limerick in 1896 was extremely proud that his surname was an Irish Anderson and not Scottish.

The only other avenue I can think off is the death of my 2 x great grandmother Mary Anderson nee Dignan in the workhouse in 1896 (if indeed it is her) and maybe old records may show place of birth etc.

When Thomas got married to Minnie McMcNally in 1900 in Belfast he gave his father James occupation as sea captain, this I find unlikely.

Great work guys and really chuffed to bits and if you can think of any other links to websites I would greatly appreciate it. Also if any of you need any research done here in Scotland please ask as I am in and about the records office fairly regularly.

Scott Anderson.
