Hi Cara.. Now I'm thoroughly confused. Are you saying that, along with the first entry in the Parish Register, there is some other type of record, in which second, third and even fourth names might be listed? How can that be? I think we're all under the assumption that the first entry in the Parish Register is the "official" record? Enlighten me/us, please... Peggy p.s. I have a two page type written document of Arklow knicknames. Several people have helped to filled it in for me. You'd have laughed at the names AND the reasons, AND the discussions around the names.
