Baptism Records, St. Mary’s, Kilkenny City, 1754

The following is a list of the names of children baptised and their parents names from the Roman Catholic baptismal register of St. Mary in Kilkenny city.


This copy of this register was accessed in the local studies section of Kilkenny City Library.  This register during the years 1754 and 1788 does not contain the residence or placename for where the family lived.  The maiden name of the wife is not given from about the middle of 1756.

The script is reasonably easy to read as will be seen by the small number of question marks I have on names, however, it has to be said that there were a number of instances where the only reason I was able to make out a surname was because of my familiarity with Kilkenny surnames.  All spellings here are given as I read them in the register

For those entries that I had difficulty reading the actual date, I have left the day and month as numbers with a question mark.  I write my day before the month e.g. 20th September = 20/9

I have analysed the first names occurring in this set of records and sorted the names out to tie similar ones together so if you are interested in reading that article then please go to this link Names.

The list below is sorted alphabetically by the surname of the child:
