Baptisms during the Nineteenth Century
Lavey Parish Baptismal records for the nineteenth century are incomplete. Records
began substantially in 1837 but gaps exist especially from 1840 to 1852,
a period which covered the Great Irish Famine.
The recording and transcribing of baptismal data from the parish books to a
modern computer system, began
under the late Father Regan PP in the 1980s and then was completed in the 1990s
under the guidance of Father O'Donnell PP.
Some records in a very few instances appear to contain two or more names. This
may indicate a multiple birth.
The clarity of the writing at times made transcription difficult and thus the
list of names are reproduced as discerned by the computer operator at that time,
Brian Clarke. Names punctuated with question marks indicate difficulties with legibility.
Please note that details and dates are under
periodical review and are subject to correction at any time.
