  • Lorri:

    Below is the baptismal record for Margaret. She lived in Banshagh townland in Killorgin civil parish. She was baptized in the RC church in Killorgin. Check out www.irishgenealogy.ie which is where I found this record. I would think you can find baptismal records for siblings and maybe the marriage record for Cornelius and Mary.

    In the 19th century, a child would be baptized fairly quickly (within a week unless there were extenuating circumstances). There would not be a three month wait. Can't explain the discrepancy. Mary Ellen is a good possibility.
