While researching birth records of Nevin/Navin found in the late 1880’s birth records of a John & Margaret Navan’s children came up. May not be related. In reply #30 it was noted no record in 1901 census of Lanesboro Street. Ironically this family put Lanesboro Street on the birth records and another noteable fact John Navin was a shoemaker. Makes me even more interested of the connection of the Shruhan and Nevin clans.

Thank you to all of you. Since Nevin isn’t such a common name in Roscommon, most likely related and also because of the Nevin/Shruhan connection, my great grandparents and Lanesboro Street.

Can someone reply to #98?

Again appreciate all the hard work everyone is doing to help me with my ancestor search.

Happy Spring!!

Yes, he looks to be sponsor at the baptism.

I think the child's surname was Kegan. I can't decide whether it was male or female; it was John or Jane/Joan/Joanna. Mother's maiden surname was Pad_ _ _

Since I haven’t been here in awhile, wondering on information already found on my grandfather Thomas Nevin, it still bothers me that I can’t find out record of his birth, was he born in Roscommon. Know his father was a herder from information on Thomas’s siblings birth record and mother was Helena or Ellen Shruhan or Shruffin. Only know that my grandfather from the 1900 US Census that is birth was May, 1862. There must still be Nevin in Roscommon today that may be related or know something from their relatives. Also, would like to know more about my great grandfather Thomas Nevin & Ellen Shruhan other than their marriage in Roscommon. Any help greatly appreciated.

I found a Thomas Nevin, but am I reading this right. Is he a godparent in this record. Roscommon & Kilteevan, page 62 May, 27, 1843. If not, can you explain? Thank you.

It is in the usual position for godparents/sponsors.
To check just skim down a page of baptisms and note where the priest is putting them.  Some times they make it a bit easier by writing Sps (short for sponsors)

Having read entire thread again to refresh my memory, here's a clarification.
Surname of the girl Catherine, baptised 13th October 1844 was Keef not Nephin. Her father was Michael Keef. The maiden surname of her mother was Nephin. The style of baptism entries in that register was child's name & surname, followed by father's forename, then forename & surname of mother.
As the baby was Catherine, the same name as her mother, she may have been the 3rd daughter.


baptism of Catherineinam Nephin on 10/13/1844 with parents Michael & Catherine Nephin. (Again not sure if I am reading correctly).

Baptism 13th October 1844
Catherine KEEF,  Michael & Catherine NEPHIN
Lansbr (?) st  John SHRUFFIN (?), Eliza ....LLY
           nxp (?)
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633981#page/77/mode/1up


Something I noticed when looking at the register again is that there are 2 sequences of baptisms for each month, on facing pages for October 1844. For different chapels and/or by different priests? I think it says "M Rush" at the top of left-hand page page and " ___ Boyle" at top of right-hand page.
