Bartholomew QUIGLEY & Ann HUNT ca 1840

Thanks.

Although the original is Cogley, it has to be the QUIGLEY family

[heywood]

Agreed.

Because James so consistently gives his birth as Sligo, 1843, I've tried to find a record of the event, but without success. I have, however, found the baptism of his brother:-

07 Jul 1845  John QUIGLEY to Bartholomew & Honor (nee FEIGHNEY)  in Kilshalvey Kilturra
                          sponsors:  John QUIGLEY & Mary FEIGHNEY

No other siblings

There is a birth here - 29th November 1842

Quite difficult to spot and the page is confusing as some names for the children are on the right hand column but not all. It looks as though there isn’t a name.
However, with some scrutiny, you can see the parents names ‘Bart..Quigley and Honor Hunt.’

Thank you

I can see the names Barty Quigley & Honor Hunt, Drumdeevan, but I can't find the child's name, just a blank where I think it ought to be. What am I failing to do?

Nothing! The priest simply neglected to write in the name. However, given the timing, it must be James.

[garlands]

Agreed. If you're happy to accept that it must be James, then, so am I. Everything fits - not like the birth-year of Honor/Hannah/Ann!!!!!

[garlands]

I've had another look at the late-1842 baptisms and there seem to be about a dozen instances of missing child's names between late October and early December. Either a very careless or very forgetful priest!

Wexflyer,

Apologies for not thanking you enough for your discovery of the (apparently) un-named child of Barty & Honor. I don't know how you did it, but my guess is that it must have taken considerable time and effort, so please accept my grateful thanks.
