I decided to search for Timothy's siblings and quickly found a record for his older sister Julia. Finding his younger sister Hanora took a little more searching. I have a transcribed record that gives Honora's baptism date as August 6, 1848 in Clondrohid Parish, so started my search with August, 1848.
The first page that came up for August didn't have any trace for Hanora. In looking at the date, I wonder if this could be one of the missing pages for August 1846.
The next page for September also looked like it could be for 1846, as well as the page that followed for June.
Compare this to the second page tagged for September 1848, where the last number is definitely an 8.
Another page for August 1848 appeared a couple of pages down and this one looked like 1848. This is one of the harder to read pages, but I was able to make out the entry for Honora on August 6, 1848.

There are a few other Creedans on this page. At the bottom of the same page, I can't make out the date or child's name, but it also has the location of Carrgapooca. The parents are Daniel Riordan and Kate Creedan and one of the witnesses is Mary Creedan. The date above it is August 25.

Isn't it wonderful these records are online now? I've come across a few with seemingly out of order dates too.
ReplyDeleteEllie, yes, it's fantastic to see the actual records! I'm still holding out hope that Timothy is in there somewhere.
