Baptism Records, Aghaboe, Co. Laois, 1826

Roman Catholic Parish Aghaboe,
Diocese of Ossory,
Laois (Queen’s Co.)


The following is an index to the names of children baptised in the Roman Catholic parish of Aghaboe, Co. Laois during the year 1826.  I have sorted the surnames alphabetically and I have not changed the spellings from the way I saw them as written in the register.  Place names are also written as I saw them.  Question marks indicate letters I had a problem with, … show places where I was not able to read a letter or I thought there might be another letter.

There were four people received into the Catholic Church in this year, for them, you will see their names and nothing else in their registration.  Their parents were not named and no witnesses were listed

Rathaspick, Co. Laois (Queen’s Co.) Photographs

I will have to change or add some words to this page eventually, such as the Lewis(1837) words re Rathaspick.


I was driving along the road from Ballylinan(Ballylynan) to Stradbally the other day and I spotted this Church up a wee road on my left.  Now why I never noticed this before I don’t know, but, I didn’t.  So off myself and dogs went to get a closer look at the Church.  It is such a beautiful setting.  I did send a copy of the Church photo from my phone to the County Laois Genealogy Facebook page.  I didn’t know where I was and a man from Laois was able to tell me later that night.

So here are the photos I took of that Church.  The sun was out and it was lovely even if cold.

De Vesci Estate Church of Ireland, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois

The De Vesci Estate lies just outside what is now the town of Abbeyleix and there is a Church of Ireland on the estate.


St. Patrick’s Church of Ireland, Mountrath, Co. Laois

St. Patrick’s Church of Ireland,
Mountrath,
Co. Laois (Queen’s Co.)


Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland (1837) tells us “MOUNT-RATH, a market and post-town, in the parish of CLONENAGH, barony of MARYBOROUGH WEST,QUEEN’S county, and province of LEINSTER, 6 ½ miles (W. S. W.) from Maryborough, on the road to Roscrea, and 47 ¼ (S. W.) from Dublin; containing 2593 inhabitants.” plus “The parish church, a handsome structure, is situated in the town: it was nearly rebuilt and considerably enlarged in 1832, by a grant from the late Board of First Fruits, and by subscription, and further alterations have been lately made by means of a grant from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.”

Dysart Church, Aghnacross (Aughnacross), Co. Laois (Queen’s Co.)

Dysart,
Aghnacross (Aughnacross),
Co. Laois (Queen’s Co.),
Ireland.


I remember the first time I was ever in this graveyard, before I got there I saw my first ever prayer tree.  I thought there was rubbish all over the tree until I realised it was bits of cloth and rosary beads and things like that and when I stopped the car to look at what I was seeing, I realised there was a well under the tree.  It was amazing.

Then, I got to the church and luckily for me around about that time the people in the locality had cleaned up the graveyard and marked all the script on the stones and I could read many of them that I can’t read now because of this. The church is associated with St. Monahan according to the Laois Archaeological Survey.

St. Manman’s Roman Catholic Church,
CLonaslee,

Ireland.


Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland tells us “KILMANMAN, or CLONASLEE, a parish, in the barony of TINNEHINCH, QUEEN’S county, and province of LEINSTER, 4 miles (S. E.) from Balliboy; containing 3186 inhabitants.” Also “In the R. C. (Roman Catholic) divisions it forms the greater part of the union or district of Clonaslee, where the chapel is situated.”

In ancient times, this was called the ‘Old Chapel of Brittas’
