In 1991, I wrote to the parish priest of Drumlish, Co. Longford for info on the birth of my gf, Thomas Gorman ca. 1861-1864. I rec'd the following info, taken from the parish register of St. Mary's Church there: Baptised 11 Aug 1855: Bernard, of Bernard Gorman & Margaret Conlon Baptised 22 Dec. 1855: Bernard, of Patrick Gorman & Eleanor Lee Bap. 08 June 1856: Anna, of John Gorman and Brigid Vernon (or Vernan) Bap. 08 Jan. 1857: Peter, of Peter Gorman and Rose Grimes Bap. 17 March 1857: Patrick, of Patrick Gorman & Alice Lee Bap. 12 April 1857: Patrick, of Michael Gorman & Brigid McKeon Bap. 22 May 1859: Michael, of Bernard Gorman & Rose Grimes Bap. 21 June 1859: Catherine, of Bernard Gorman & Margaret Conlon Bap. 29 June 1860: Peter, of Michael Gorman & Brigid Dorris Bap. 03 Sept. 1860, Patrick of Patrick Gorman & Alice Lee Bap. *15 May 1861: Thomas Gorman, son of Thomas Bernard and Margaret Conlon " 18 March 1866: Patrick Gorman, son of Thomas Bernard and Margaret Conlon "Unfortunately, our records of the time add no further details, such as townlands." (signed) PP * This appears to be my gf, but his death cert. listed his birthplace as NYC. I think that is an error, however. If anyone makes a connection, pls let me know. Agnes
