Patrick Joseph Monaghan and family, James Street, Westport, Mayo

I can’t see a birth for Patrick nor a death for Mary Ann.

If you can’t see a birth, perhaps you could contact the church for a baptism check.

Thank you, yes have tried myself and a few others but nothing found or returned for my Grandad Patrick Monaghan at all anywhere which is a bit frustrating. I’m not sure if his birth was registered for some reason to be honest but can’t find any baptismal records online either but maybe as you say if I contact the Church direct they move have some record. Can only find one Catholic Church St Mary’s at Westport?

Online baptisms only go to 1880 - Hallmark gave you a link so yes, St Mary’s would likely be the right Church.

Thanks both, I’ll give them a bell tomorrow and let you know how I get on

Just a quick update to say after about 2 years of trying I finally got the Baptism certificate for my Grandad from St Mary’s. Made up and just in the process now of registering as a late birth to get the long form birth certificate and hopefully get that sorted a bit quicker. Thanks for the help, defo appreciated.
