Area of Faughalstown

[Kelger123]

Hi,  My family, Connor, Lee, Reil, and Duff, originated on the Pakenham Estate and lived in the Kiltoom area which is part of the townland of Faughalstown.  The more recent baptisms and marriages were held in Mayne parish church in Coole however, some of the earlier ones were said to be in the Delvin parish.  I have never found any records of my family in Delvin.  I would have thought Castlepollard would have covered the area but no.  Can anyone shed light on when the changes were made and am I right to continue to search Delvin?

are you referring to Catholic parishes ?

If you look at the map on the NLI website the adjacent parishes to Mayne are Castlepollard to the North, Collinstown to the north east, Taghmon (Meath Diocese) to the south east, Multifarnham to the south and street to the west.

Delvin/Castletowndelvin parish is not adjacent to Mayne and is to the south east of Collinstown.

Hello Kelger123,

Could you clarify what you mean by "more recent" and "earlier" in year terms. Also what exactly you were told about Delvin.

Regards,

The records I have found, mainly mid 19th century, were from Mayne parish records.  I have seen references in earlier searches that say the parish was Delvin.  I assumed, rightly or wrongly, there was a shift in the boundaries at some point however, I have yet to find anything in the Delvin records.  I was asking if anyone might have an insight into this.  The strange thing is Pakenham Hall is in Castlepollard but the tenants were in Mayne.  Perhaps it was a status thing in that Castlepollard was the main market town of the area?

Hello Kelger123,

I don't know if your last post was meant to be a reply to mine.

Anyway here is my thoughts on the information as given. I think that the reference to Delvin was made by someone who is confusing the civil and church records. With regards to Pakenham Hall (Tullynally Castle), it just depends on what gate you come out of whether you are nearer Castlepollard or Coole.

Kiltaglassan,

I note that you have a habit of posting links to easily accessible information, for reasons I don't understand.

Anyway I stand over my statement, perhaps you should have read it properly before posting a reply. i could say the same about your reply in the Halpins thread.
