Hi LIsters We would appreciate if someone on the list could help us locate the baptismal records or lead us in the right direction. We are looking for birth record of Delia Norton, born 26 Dec 1836, in Dublin, Ireland. We have no parents listed for her. However, in a 1899 obt. for Ann (Dolan) Norton, a Delia was listed as one of her children. However, we have found this record: NORTON, Maria Christening Gender: Female Christening Date: 3 Feb 1839 Recorded in: Athlone and Drum, Roscommon, Ireland Collection: Roman Catholic Father: Jaacobi NORTON <meaning James> Mother: Annae DOLAN <meaning Ann> Source FHL Film 9899750 Dates 1837- 1839 Our Irish information on our Norton line is very limited, so we need help in finding our Irish ancestors. It would help us a great deal if we could find the townland that Maria was christen in. As far as we knew, until Friday, was that James Norton and Ann Dolan's daughter Delia preceded her mother Ann, who lived until 1899. Then we get a e-mail from a descendant of Delia Norton, who lived in the New Labanon/Labanon Springs area of New York, so we have to find out if Delia is James and Ann Norton's daughter. We have a distorted newspaper obt of my gr.gr.grandfather and it said that the Nortons were from Althone, County Roscommon, Ireland. The townland was so hard to make out, we think it might be Creagh, but we are not really sure. All we are sure of is that it began with "C." We haven't been able to find a marriage record of James Norton and Ann Dolan. We think they were married about 1832, we thought County Roscommon, Ireland. BACKGROUND: James NORTON - born 1812 Ann DOLAN - born 1813 Children that we know about who was born in County Roscommon, Ireland: Matthew - born 1832 or later (I have also seen the year as 1835) Roseann - born December 16, 1837 Maria - born 1839 James C. - born November 15, 1847 They migrated to America about 1849 and settled in Lebanon Springs, New York and more Norton children were in New York and Illinois. We would appreciate it if someone could help us find the christening records for Delia, Matthew, Roseann and James C. Norton. Thank you, Mary Boudreau
