Fenagh parish records c. 1840
« on: Friday 23 June 17 16:42 BST (UK) »
I have, by an extreme stroke of luck, found a certified copy of an entry in the 'Register of Baptisms from the parish of Fenagh in the county of Carlow' that was used for a British Civil Service proof of age document.

The entry is for the brother of my 2nd great grandmother, Anne Dillon, and lists the birth and baptism of Nathaniel Dillon, born 9 May 1845, baptised 8 June 1845, son of Thomas and Eliza Dillon, farmer residing at Ballyknockan, baptised by H S King.

It has taken me years to find any records relating to this family, since the Fenagh records do not seem to be transcribed on any sites, and I live in South Africa.

My questions are: do these records still exist, and, if so, where are they kept and how can one access them?

They appear to be Church of Ireland records.

Any help would be appreciated...

Kind regards, Jo Hugo

NON RC Marriages are registered from 1845,  then all BDM's from 1864, I make the District to be Naas

 Birth, Marriage and Death results for Dillon of Naas from 1845 to 1899
