BTW

If you go onto any of the baptisms that I posted and scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see a link that will bring you into the original records.

You have been busy whilst I have been sleeping Tara !!

One of the things I picked up in the Griffith land valuation was that there was a John Collins and a John McCarthy both in Cat Lane, and also all the Collins in Main St Dunmanway.

I  will work back through everything you found.
Reading those baptism and marriage records is amazing .
Every priest had a different way of doing them. Some tidy - some not.

and thanks for the tip on getting the actual record.
I think its important because sometimes transcriptions are wrong.

In the Daniel Collins census in 1901 in Wales, the transcribers never turned the page and found 3 extra people in the house - one of them Elizabeth, the wife of Head of Household.

You would think he was a widower from that transcription.

You will need to tread carefully in Dunmanway as Collins is a VERY common surname there.

 Yup, next step is to get the marriage of John & Ellen.

Sure they are only €4

Tara, can you tell me how a newly married couple would have usually named their sons.

I think its  the childs paternal grandpa first, then maternal grandpa next, isn't it?

Did they do the girls the same way after their grandma's.

I have started reading through the baptisms in Dunmanway and I think I have all the Denis Collins and Mary Hurley births now.

I might be off the air for a while as I just got a call while I was typing this, to say my nephew has been in an accident and the car is totalled.  Family needing support. No info on his condition.

Traditionally the first son was given the man's father's name.

First daughter given the woman's mother's name.

There were always exceptions to this though.
