Yesterday I did a search and found and paid for 2 records. One for Margaret Foley, Waterford that I found in Newcastle b. 1854; today I did one for Catherine Foley b. 1851 Newcastle and these are close to the dates of the 3 Foley sisters I am researching used in the USA. I am still trying to find Anna and other spellings of the name. I did a search on Foley the year she was born 1850 and it came up with John Foley....so I do not know if I am following the right family or not. I did check a few years before and after hoping to find her. No luck. Is it possible the transcription of the name John could be incorrect? They all have the same mother and father with variations of spellings the mother's surname. All I know is these 3 Foley sisters came to Philadelphia ca 1869 (from Waterford according to family records) and they are in Phila. in the 1870 census records. Don't know where to go from here.

Elaine,    Did you know the parent's names before you searched for the baptism?  If so you have probably found a brother of your Foley sisters who didn't survive childhood or didn't emigrate.  If you're not sure these are the parents of your Foley's your best bet is to keep searching in the USA for everything you can find, obituaries, marriage and death certificates, anything that might confirm or disprove the baptismal records you purchased are the right ones.     Not finding the other sister's baptism in not terribly unusual, it could be misspelled, illegible or lost, I found my ggg grandmother Honora Crotty baptized in 1814 Tramore, but her brother John Crotty is not in the database.  I know it's her because I have her parent's names from a death cert. in NY, and her brother John's death cert. shows the same parents.
