Sinann, I'm just keeping it temporarily (and searching with both names) until I can hopefully find a marriage license for her and Richard and get the correct spelling. 

Their other child Margaret was also baptized at St. Peter's Dec 7, 1793 and the maiden name was spelled Moonan and looked even more like an M than the one for Michael and James.

Again, thanks for your help in finding out that the boys were twins  :D

Thanks again Sinann.  I think I will change it to Noonan and use Moonan as an alternate for now.  I really appreciate everyone's help with this question!

Thank you all very much.  I can now see the names once you indicated how they were written.  I am still wondering about Mary's maiden name though - doesn't the M in Mary and the M in Moonan look the same?  Or could it be that the person recording the info didn't hear the name as it should have been Noonan.  I have come across many Moonans - Richard and Mary had another child baptized at the same church and again they used Moonan.

I could use another set of eyes!! I have gone through the record twice and still cannot find James on the April 1795 baptism records.

The transcribed record has both James Callan and Michael Callan's baptism for April 1795.  Parents are Richard Callan and Mary Moonan.  There is another Callan right under Michael's line but the parents are different.

I thought James was born in 1785 - I searched that whole year and did not see him there either.  Thanks in advance for any help.

No luck with finding marriage records for James Callan and Susan Dougherty.  Any other suggestions that I can use to search for info on her?

Dublin / Balbriggan, Dublin, Patrick Dougherty family
« on: Tuesday 30 July 19 23:19 BST (UK)  »
Parents:  Patrick Dougherty and Mary Dalton. I found dates of baptismal records of their children from:
Baptism Place:  Balbriggan, Dublin, Ireland
Parish Variants:  Balrothery, Balrothery and Balscadden, Balscadden
Diocese:  Dublin
for: 
Elenor – Sep 6, 1799
James -  Jan 24, 1802
Susan – Feb 24, 1804
Patrick – Mar 11, 1810

I am most interested in Susan Dougherty (1804 Ireland) who married James Callan (b. Ireland ~1785 and died in Dec 13, 1869 in Philadelphia).

I don't know when or where they were married. Their children listed below were born in Ireland. The only US records I have on Susan and James Callan lists them as parents on the death certificates for their 3 children in Philadelphia PA

Edward A. Callan (1821-1891)
Mary Callan (1824-1891)
James Callan (1840-1906)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: 1813 baptism Dublin-Swords

The hardest part for me in searching is not knowing the different locations and parishes in Ireland and how close in distance they are to someone I am looking for. 
Because my aunt on my dad's side of the family did a lot of genealogy back when you actually had to travel to another state and sit in the courthouse all day long taking notes, I was able to use what she sent me and have her side back into the 1500's in Nassau Germany.  All that seems like a breeze compared to searching in Ireland!!  Sometimes I feel like giving up on my mom's side but it's like I feel her spirit telling me to keep going.  I say little prayers to her telling her to give me some hints - maybe those hints are the ones from y'all here on RootsChat.  Thanks for all you do.  I will check out the Genealogy toolkit.

Thank you Maiden Stone again for the help.  I will see what I can find with your suggestions. 

I had received U.S. baptismal records with the name Ann McElroy as a sponsor at the baptism of my Edward/Isabella Callen's daughter Mary Ann in 1847 Philadelphia; and William McElroy for another daughter Margaret in 1845 Phila. 

I came across the names Michael Cullen and Elizabeth McEvoy which started my journey into Ireland.  I don't know if Michael and Elizabeth are the correct parents but I was hoping they were as I am totally lost on how to search in Ireland.

Their names popped up as parents of Edward Cullen baptized in 1813 Ireland which coincided with my Edward yr/birthplace on the 1850 US census. That was all I had on him at the time.  I thought maybe the McEvoy and McElroy were possibly the same branch and that the spelling may be as varied as Cullen, Callen, Cullan etc.

So, I now am off to work with your ideas :)
