During my pursuit of Rorkes and Bradys on LDS filmstrips I found references to some Masterson and Sheridan family names from Dromard church records as follows: Film #1279204: Christening of Michael MASTERSON on 16 Jan 1853 Parents: Jacob MASTERSON and Catherine BRADY Sponsors: Michael MASTERSON and Maria BRADY Film #1279204: Christening of Matthew DUFFY on 21 June 1841 Parents: Patrick DUFFY and Catherine RORKE Sponsors: Bridget MASTERSON and Patrick MASTERSON (Note: Bernard DUFFY was a sponsor at my ggrandfather Bernard RORKE’s christening along with a Maria BRADY.) Film #1760959: Marriage of Michalem SHERIDAN and Eleanorum RORKE 6 Sept 1855 Films #926025 Marriage of Bernadum RORKE and Eleanor REILLY & #1760959 15 Jan 1838 Witnesses: Patrick DUFFY and Elizabeth SHERIDAN Film #926025 Christening of Maria ROURKE on 30 Sept 1838 Parents: Bernardi ROURKE and Eleanor REILLY Witnesses: Patrick DUFFY and Elizabeth SHERIDAN I hope this information will be useful to you. If you, or anyone else on the list, knows anything more about the BRADY, RORKE, REILLY, DUFFY, MASTERSON, or SHERIDAN families in Longford, I’d appreciate your sharing your info.
