Thank you very much for this, Brian.  The Lummaxes in Canada are indeed recorded as Protestant, but I think at that time with the way Catholics were treated it was not unheard of to have people 'change' religion, and it's interesting that the same  Christian names are coming up ie John and Thomas and Mary.  My ancestor called his children John, Mary Ann and Elizabeth, (his wife was called variously Maria and Ann) and there is a Thomas, Johns and Ann among the Canadian Lummaxes.  I don't think the different spelling is important as on the Canadian shipping list the name is spelt as Lummocks.  I shall try again to see if I can get access to the Fenagh Protestant church records...   Regards,   Hilary From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, 20 August 2012, 8:00 Subject: IRL-CARLOW Digest, Vol 7, Issue 382 When replying to a message please don't forget to delete all messages not related to your message & change the subject box.

These three baptisms were extracted from the Dunleckney Parish Registers which I have been transposing for some time. They are Catholic Baptisms. Part of Fenagh was in Dunleckney Parish. Despite the spellimg of then name they could be related. I suppose your Lummaxs' may be protestant too, but I thought you would find this family of interest.

On a visit to Ireland last week saw the grave earlier mentioned of Anne and John Lummax in Fenagh graveyard from 1788. We know 2 John Lummaxes (one with family) emigrated to Canada on the Maria in 1819 and were iven land in Beckwith, Lanark County, Ontario. And also a William Lummax was given land near there later - possibly a brother to John. My ancestor Henry enlisted in he 4th lLight Dragons which were based in Carlow, on 31 Jul 1815, and Ihave seen reference in a? court case to a place referred to as Lummax,s Cross near Carlow, but can find no other records of any mention of the Lummaxes..? Does anyone have access to he church records of Fenagh as have been unable to contact the minister here?
