birth/baptism sought of Arthur Fagan, around 1852 C. Down
« on: Monday 13 December 21 12:08 GMT (UK) »
The couple Arthur Fegan (also spelled Fagan) and Catharine McClory married on 18-10-1839 in Newry, Co. Down. They get 13 children: first four in Annaghlone, Co Down (1841-1845), then four in Liverpool (1847-1854), and finally five in  Kilcoo, Co. Down.
I have found RC baptism records for all but one: Arthur, named after his father, who according to the census record of 1871 was born circa 1852 in Liverpool. Her married 8 July 1872 in Liverpool with Elizabeth Downes. Any help in finding the birth or baptism of this Arthur will be greatly appreciated.

Have you found the family in 1851? Where are they exactly?
And where - in what RC Parish - were the children before and after Arthur baptized?  Does that help find Arthur?

The earliest mention of the family I have found is in the 1871 census of England. The address there is Worthington Street, Toxteth Park. In Liverpool, the children are baptized in St Patrick Church.
The child before Arthur and the one following him have been baptized in Liverpool, but I do not find Arthur there, and the 1871 census gives his place of birth as "Ireland".

Yes, but I do not see his birth or baptism on rootsireland.ie
Are there other sites where I may have better luck?
