Joas Garland Baptism 1 July 1752
« on: Friday 02 December 22 12:27 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace an ancestor Joseph Garland who would have been born about 1750 -1755. 
I have seen the baptism record on Ancestry of a "Joas" Garland in 1752 recorded in a Dublin Catholic register.  All the names on the page are recorded as Latin equivalents e.g. Richardus for Richard etc.  There are several other "Joas" baptisms on the same register page.     - this is an abbreviation but I am unclear what it represents - is it short for Joseph or John?

I looked at the record, yes it's Joseph.

Great - and thanks so much.
This is really quite exciting for me as my grandfather told me about 60 years ago that he thought the family were originally from Ireland...... and so this Joseph may  potentially  be the one who left Ireland for Bristol.
