I have found on Wicklow Family History Centre's online search a baptism for a Thomas McEvoy. The date of baptism is given as 31/07/1831. Father's name- David McEvoy Mother's name - Margaret Sponsor 1 - James Healy Sponsor 2 - Ellen Ryan I do not know if it is MY Thomas McEvoy. The mother's name is different to the info I have, the father's name is the same, as is the place - Dunlavin. Does this Thomas belong to anyone you know? Thanks.

Well he does not belong to me but now you have a year etc, cant you write to the Dunlavin Church and ask for someone to look at the register for you and give you concise staetement for having sighted the record, allowing that what the hand writes is not always what the eye sees, meaning, I myself love to pride that I write it down correctly, but sometimes when double checking, I note I have written in the wrong parents, and sometimes, you have to allow some of these records come from the oldest messiest writing and filing system anyone wished to cast their eyes across, in fact I am sure the priest or the clerk or the preists housekeeper or whoever kept the records simply took a fowls foot and dipped it in ink and wrote with that. So I think if you have a doubt as to parentage and perhaps have another document that may give you another name, for parents write to the man who guards the books and ask him to look, you have the date surely that is correct!!! Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Hi Cara, I did in fact write to the Dunlavin parish earlier last year to inquire re records. I was informed that there were no records for the name I was searching for. It may always remain a mystery. I have sent to PRONI for Thomas' marriage records to Charlotte Ennis in Antrim. Hopefully, that will tell me his parents names. Thanks for your help Cara. I do hope that you are feeling better and it always nice to see your name in my inbox. I always know your emails will contain helpful info.
