Also baptism of an Edward Conlon to Edward Conlon & Mrs. Conlon; sponsors are Patt McCarton and Margaret McCarton (same surname as sponsors for Arthur) on June 1, 1833 in Tullylish.
Pardon me. I spent a bit too long in the microfilm and went a bit daft. I had thought I found Edward 1833 birth but it had already been found by Eileen way back on the first page. Shows its always good to re-read ones thread! Thanks again Eileen , what I should have said was I did finally find that entry.
While i'm at it I will add that I did find a reference to a birth of a Sarah Byrnes in Tullylish. Her death cert says she should have been born about 1845. I couldn't see anything under 1845 but I found an illegitimate birth in 1846 for a Sarah to a Hugh Byrnes. It mentions the mother's name but I can't quite read it (attached).
I can't say whether this Hugh Burns and Sarah might be my own without some more clues. I'm also not sure if the Hugh Burns weaver death I shared earlier is him for sure (it is likely him). It says he was married and there was a Margaret present but it doesn't call her his widow.
Any thoughts on whether this could be Hugh Burns that fathered Sarah (who married Arthur Conlon)? I think I might be clutching at straws with that entry but it could be them. I did search the 1840's in the microfilm very closely and that was the only Sarah to a Hugh.
Many thanks for the responses already and special shout out to Eileen for those excellent finds.
