Hello,
I am trying to track down a baptism for a Charles Henry Cunningham son of Charles Cunningham and Mary nee Kelly (according to marriage/death record and living cousins). All records I currently have for Charles---passenger manifest, naturalization, draft papers, marriage, and death record all lis Charles jr as being born 10 July 1888 in Down. According to family we still have in Ireland, Charles and his siblings: Henry, James, George, Annie and William, were all born in Annalong, Down.
Now the only Charles Henry Cunningham I can find any record regarding baptism is for a Charles Henry Cunningham son of Charles and Mary baptized 14 Dec 1880 Glasdrummond, Lower Mourne, Down. So i wonder if this is my Charles and he lied about his age by 8 years or there is another baptism out there that we're missing.
The odd thing is we can't seem to find baptisms for any of the children, and we know they were very strict Catholics.
Any help in locating Jr's baptism or suggestions on where to look would be appreciated. I do have a marriage record for a Charles Cunningham and Mary Margaret Kelly 1873 Killkeel, Down.
thanks!
Nich
