1847 Birth Date

[beseeinyou]

With regard to these Catholic Registers am I right in thinking that these cannot be searched by name?, and that you have to just scroll through the microfiche pages that are there?

The county of Monaghan is split into a bunch of areas (please excuse my ignorance of the correct terminology) and that although my relative was residing in Tydavnet when he got married it could be that 42 years earlier when he was born he could be in another area and it's just a case of trawling through these registers? Or is there a better way of finding information?

Also what's your take on how the baptism date relates to the date of birth ?

Yes it is true he could have been born anywhere... Cork, England, America etc..

One only knows where he was when he married!
 


For you....one can only search/investigate on available information at time of Marriage!
