On the 15/3/1844 in golden and kilfeacle James Elliot was baptised (illigit) Of thos Elliot and Honora Power.I would like to know what happened to the three of them Thomas Elliott

Hi Tom, From the experience with my 3rd great-grandfather and his hoard of children, I can give you a few hints to follow up. First, if Honora Power was the child's natural mother, she is having her child baptized in her own parish. Her birth record should be there. Thomas Elliott may or may not be from the same parish. If Thomas was married, he would have married in his wife's parish, which may be another one entirely. At some point - from that very same day up to 14 years later, Thomas and his legal wife may have "adopted" his child, James. It will be the 2nd baptism for James and will include no indication of his age at that point unless the priest happened to make a note. This baptism will probably occur in the parish in which Thomas and his wife are living. It is very likely that Thomas will give money to James to emigrate as he will have no chance to inherit the home farm as that would disrupt the dowry and inheritance scheme of Thomas and his legal wife and her father and her dowry. I would look for an emigration from 16 years up to some years later and likely a paid passage. None of these actions mean that James was not loved by his father and likely his natural mother and step-mother as well. It is the way religion and life worked in old Ireland.
