Baptism Records, Mountrath, Co. Laois, 1823-24

This is a  baptismal index of children who were baptised and their parents from the set of Roman Catholic parish registers for Mountrath, Co. Laois in the years 1823-24.  Very few of the townlands named belong to the civil parish of Offerlane which is where Mountrath is in Laois.  There are two placenames which I would guess fit the townland of Knockannagad and these are ‘Nockanna’ and ‘Knockann….e’ in Mountrath.  Also ‘Deranagh’ may be Dernamanagh from the list of townland in Ireland in a pre 1900 census return Mountrath.


See IRL-Atlas of Ireland.
