I am new to this list but not new to genealogy. I am researching the BAKER family from Ballingrane area. My husbands grandfather was Cornelius Fizzell BAKER (also known and Charles Frederick BAKER) who married Sarah RYAN. Sarah's father was John RYAN, a schoolteacher in the Ballingrane area. John RYAN may have married into the Palatine community but I do not know has wifes name. Cornelius had a brother Julius F (I still do not know what the F stands for but I suspect Fizzell) who were both married in the Nantinan church in 1860 and their father John's occupation was shown as Parish Clerk. As the Nantinan church registers no longer exist I cannot check whether he was parish clerk in that church or another church. That is my query! What church was he parish clerk in? Cornelius and Julius father was Peter Baker who married Anne Fitzell of Sallowglen, Kilnaughton Parish. Can anyone shed any light for me please.
