-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Y-IRL] Fenagh RC parish records - Leitrim Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 16:26:09 -0000 From: "Jane Lyons" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> National Library of Ireland film number 4239 Latter Day Saints film reference : BFA 1279223 Items 1-3 Fenagh RC Parish Baptisms June 5th 1825 - Oct 13th 1829 Script is clear: Child's name, parents, sponsors. The last entries on any line and the ends of the pages are shaded, which can make it difficult to read the spellings. The entries are in English There are some entries for 1841 just after the 1829 entries - two or three pages, the script on those is spidery and more difficult to read than the earlier entries. Baptisms Nov 24th 1834 - April 12th 1843 follows the few pages of 1841 entries. These baptisms are in Latin, the writing is generally legible through the ten years. In parts the ink is faded. Baptisms : June 5th 1843 - Nov 4th 1852 Marriages: Oct 4th 1826 - Feb 18th 1832 Marriages Jan 15th 1835 - March 22nd 1842 Deaths June 1825 - Feb 21st 1832 Deaths Nov 24th 1834 - Dec 21st 1841 These entries are in Latin. The whole set of records is variable in that some pages are reasonably easy to read and others are almost impossible, either due to the script, the ink or the fact that they are in Latin. The death entries are all single lines, in Latin. The townlands are not named, only dates, names and surnames for this section of the parish records. Baptisms Nov 22nd 1852- Dec 9th 1880 Marriages: Jan 17th 1844 - Feb 9th 1880 These records are in English, the townland is named, the entries are spaced. There is an index to the Baptismal register for this parish, following on the parish records themselves as on the film. It is handwritten, single line entries, with the year of the baptism given for each name. Again, it is faded in spots and the writing can be difficult to read. The edges and ends of the pages are either shaded or faded. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Buy Stock for $4. No Minimums.
