Hi, Just saw my posting and realized I had a name wrong although corrected later. Catherine (Kate) Kelly married Robert O'Reilly late 1840s.? Their first child is my GGF James Reilly/Riley.? He was baptized in Newtown Forbes in January 1850.? Does this church indicate the religion of the family? Thanks. Barbara

Barbara, There is and was a Catholic parish of Newtownforbes. However, Newtownforbes was the location of Castle Forbes, a principal seat of the Earl of Granard, so there was undoubtedly a Church of Ireland church there as well. Therefore, the fact of a baptism at that geographical location would not be proof of the religion of the parents.
