Kerry / Re: When was Maurice Griffin, Tailor, of Cromane Upper, Killorglin, Co.Kerry, born?

A couple of updates:
1. Denis Griffin, married to Katherine Rahilly was a weaver.
2. Fr. Lawlor's predecessor as Parish Priest in Killorglin, died in January 1884. Strangely, there is a run of marriage records that start almost exactly after the old priest died, following a gap from the 1850s. So was the old priest simply not recording baptisms, marriages or deaths? Or did the parish records form part of his personal property, to be retained by his family?
