Hi All
After some years I still haven't found the baptism of Thomas Broe 1823/4 but can clear up the misunderstanding on his death certificate because I found the marriage of John Broe and his wife Elizabeth Keogh in Rathfarnham. The name is mis-transcribed. The surname Brown is from Elizabeth Keogh's mother whose surname was Brown. I expect that the person who gave the information on the death certificate was mistaken. On Thomas' brother Patrick's death certificate the surname is correct but the Christian name is wrong which led some people to assume that they were half-brothers. His baptism is also in the Rathfarnham PR in 1825 and he was not a twin to Thomas. In all there were several other children for this children in the PRs.
