Agreed! You've seen parish records include the Latin equivalent 'of this parish' next to someone's name.... Does that mean/imply others "aren't of this Parish'?? Where are the records? In whatever Parish Church people attended, which does not necessarily mean the church in their Parish regardless of townland.
