Charles Henry Cunningham 1880-1888 Annalong, Down
« on: Sunday 07 January 18 15:18 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am trying to track down a baptism for a Charles Henry Cunningham son of Charles Cunningham and Mary nee Kelly (according to marriage/death record and living cousins).  All records I currently have for Charles---passenger manifest, naturalization, draft papers, marriage, and death record all lis Charles jr as being born 10 July 1888 in Down.  According to family we still have in Ireland, Charles and his siblings: Henry, James, George, Annie and William, were all born in Annalong, Down. 

Now the only Charles Henry Cunningham I can find any record regarding baptism is for a Charles Henry Cunningham son of Charles and Mary baptized 14 Dec 1880 Glasdrummond, Lower Mourne, Down.  So i wonder if this is my Charles and he lied about his age by 8 years or there is another baptism out there that we're missing.

The odd thing is we can't seem to find baptisms for any of the children, and we know they were very strict Catholics.

Any help in locating Jr's baptism or suggestions on where to look would be appreciated. I do have a marriage record for a Charles Cunningham and Mary Margaret Kelly 1873 Killkeel, Down.

thanks!

Will his birth cert do?
13 July 1888. Number 412
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1888/02509/1930235.pdf
Not registered until the 16 Aug so they may have his birth day out by a few days to avoid a late registration.

Just need to figure out if Mullerton is near where the family are said to have lived

There is a marriage of a Charles Cunningham and a Mary Kelly in 1873

Would that fit with what you know about the family?

I wonder if Mullartown and Mullerton is the same place. Mullartown is very close to Annalong.
Well Annalong is sort of in Mullartown, mostly in the neighbouring townland on the old maps but starting to spill over into Mullartown.

Kilkeel Parish records
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0433
Transcript go up to 1881 so you won't find a baptism for Charles.

The census makes it look like it a part of Mullartown.
