Arnold was baptized 29 May 1769 in Drung. His father was James Reily. Mother was Catherine. I have no marriage info or Catherine's surname.
Their daughter was Euphemia Sophia Cosby Reilly, baptized 20 July 1806 in Drung. Euphemia married Thomas Ussher c. 1838. They then lived in Dublin. Euphemia died in 1871 in Dublin North.
Were the baptisms in the Church of Ireland? Euphemia's children were baptized in Dublin in COI, St. Mark's.
Thanks for any info. I am looking forward to a visit to Drung.

I'm fairly certain those baptisms were Church of Ireland, as the Catholic records for the parish of Drung only go back to the 1840s. Have you seen transcripts or images of somewhere for these baptisms ?
The Church of Ireland parish church was located in Doocassan townland just west of the village of Drung, and is included on the first edition Ordnance Survey maps from abt 1840 see Drung CofI Church. There's still a church at the same location, which appears to be the one built 1720s, and is visible on Google Streetview.

You are very kind to respond to my post. Yes, I have seen transcripts of the baptisms, and now to see the image of the church is amazing. I truly appreciate your taking the time to send the links.
