sorry - think I was looking at the wrong McQuillan record. Do you have a link to the other thread ?

records are kept by parish, so if that church you mentioned is a chapel of ease, you need to check for it's corresponding parish to see if there are records.

I had a chance to have a quick look around the Cemetery at Curtlestown Lower, It's located on the south-facing slope behind the church. Most of the headstones are clear to read, but no sign of any Flynn/Flinn that I could see.

There were some older, badly weathered stones that I didn't have time to examine more closely, and also a number of plots with no headstones, or simple wooden crosses that appeared to be unmarked.

The townland of Annacrievey borders the north of the graveyard.

Thom's directory lists the townland in the Enniskerry section as 'Annacrevey' (Annacrivey on the townland index), and seems to include a listing for your Thomas in the 1914 edition. There's also listing for a Thomas Flynn in later 1927 and 1930 editions .. maybe the directory entries were slightly behind with the details, or a son took over the property ?

here's the listing for the townland of Curstown in 1830 - two Dolans, a Patrick and James. They could be relations of your Patrick, or might even be him if he held the property before he married.

  Curstown townland, 1830

No sign of any McQuillans occupying agricultural land in the townland, but there are a few in the civil parish, so nearby :

   McQui*l*n, Termonfeckin civil parish

  (Carstown is a separate townland in the same parish)

Note the Tithes mainly cover agricultural land, so dont cover all properties.

........still births at home.  Surely I should have found them in glasnevin where else would they have been buried? .....
....

In Glasnevin stillborns were buried in what's known as the 'Angels plot'. They were one of the few cemeteries that allowed stillborn babies to be buried in concentrated ground. I think there are some records for this section, but not sure if they are included in the main online details or not. 

.....
As I don't know when they were born or what their names were the civil records don't help as they don't give the mothers last name.
....

Civil certs should include full names of both parents, unless illegitimate.
