John MOLLOY and Anne/Ann DALY

[heywood]

“I believe I have the baptism for Charles Molloy or in Latin “ Carolus Molloy” at Muckno, Monaghan; Diocese of Clogher. The document is in very poor condition and extremely difficult to read. The year is 1840. The date is not possible to read, but by going backwards in the registry, I would say it must be after May of that year. The name of the sponsor looks like Samuel …….   Parents names are completely obscured.”

Yes, I saw that yesterday but as the date seemed to be wrong, I decided against it. I thought it could be a relative.
Here is the entry however:

I think the Godparent looks like O Neil - perhaps Petrus

Heywood, thanks for the link. I think that version is a little clearer than the one I found on Ancestry.

HI Heywood (and all!) Happiest of New years to you.

 Just tidying up my notes and adding to the Molloy story.  Now looking over this again as Neale has pointed out the birth of Charles MOLLOY would be c 1834.

 Does that mean that the Carolus Molloy found is NOT my one OR was he baptised way down the track.  I don't think so as Catholics usually baptise the babies early!!  Anyway will send off an email to a couple of the libraries in Monaghan, just to see what other snippets come up. 

Many thanks Dianna

Hi again Dianna
Just have a look back at my reply #7.
My thinking then (and now) was the 1840 baptism was your Charles, being baptised before the family left Ireland. Perhaps he had not been previously baptised or there was not record of it, which was needed for their travel.

HI Neale.  Got you yes looking back at the "Chat" I see what your saying.  Many thanks Dianna

Yes,  I add my support to Neale's post...

HI I've just sent the marriage details to my transcription agent to check and verify to see if the Bride and Grooms parents names are listed for the marriage of MARY M MOLLOY 1860 to WELLS. 

The Wellington FHS has done some checking, mainly for burials of Molloy's in Wellington, for John's wife Ann and the baby Margaret!  Maybe just not registered at the BDM??? No Priest around?? So many questions!

Anyway will move on to some research in Monaghan Ireland and then wrap it up I think. Still gaps but there's not much that can be done about it I guess.  Will broaden my research for CHARLES and CHARLOTTE Molloy (Mulloy/Moloy) and that's about all I can do.  It's been great fun though!  Regards Dianna
