    3. Hi Moira We haven't talked for a while. I've been busy in other counties. I think it is a great thing that the parishes recorded events from other parishes as in your case where the marriage in another country was added to the baptism record. In my case, researching my family in co. Laois (Queen's county back then), I found a reference in the local church register for an Uncle who had died and was buried in Dunleckney, co. Carlow, quite a ways away. I just thought that was interesting but eventually checked the Dunleckney register and found several other family entries including my direct ancestor's missing baptismal record. I would never have checked there if the Dunleckney burial hadn't been recorded in the register back home at the family church in Queen's county. That was one of my biggest breaks ever. A little more research and I established that the family had lived there for 7 years just prior to taking passage to Canada from nearby New Ross. Tom
