Baptism Records, Durrow, Co. Laois, 1789

The names of the children baptised in the Roman Catholic parish of Durrow for the year 1789 are listed below as well as the names of their parents. It was not possible to read some pages of this section of the register, the number of question marks which I have are indicative of how hard it was to read. If you are looking for someone from this parish during this time frame and can’t find them listed here, then it is advisable that you look at the register yourself or employ a professional genealogist to do so.


?n.g. means that I had no townland in my file and to tell the truth, it’s so long since I looked at this part of the register, I can’t remember if it was a case of the townland name being illigible or it was not listed! Tables are sorted alphabetically by the surnames of the children, see below for surnames of mothers or sponsors not found amongst those of the children.
