Margaret, Sorry, missed the first part of your email where you asked..... My great-great-uncles came from Killererin, two of whom were born before civil registration. Would Killererin have a church where they would have been baptised? They were Church of Ireland >From about the 1850's to almost 1920 the Church of Ireland in the area of Tuam maintained numerous small churches. The largest church was St. Mary's Cathedral in Tuam itself. In 1860 St. Mary's was much smaller than today. As St. Mary's grew the smaller churches in the area folded into St. Mary's. Eventually all the records from most of these smaller satellite churches went to St. Mary's. In the 1990's most of St. Mary's records went to the Church of Ireland's library in Dublin. Some records still exist at St. Mary's. One book is missing. If you ever get to St. Mary's look up Jarleth Canney. He is a local historian on Church of Ireland history in the area. He used to be the custodian at St. Mary's.
