Brennan, Kehoe/Keogh/Keough, Lyons, Murphy and Walsh baptisms St. James Catholic parish, Wexford 1879 & 1880 : 139 Records with one of the above surnames

The records are not sorted alphabetically

Yesterday I spent a few hours going through the St. James parish records and transcribing information on any of the surnames above, that is to say if the mother or father had one of the above surnames then I noted the information.  The records are in English and for the most part relative to other parish records are legible (in some places with extreme difficulty).  Question marks indicate those names I had a problem with. Place-names are NOT given in these records.  This is the first set of records that I have transcribed where a lot of children  are given a second first name.

Spellings are exactly as I read them.  (someone else might read them differently).  I do have a question mark beside the surname Parle in one record but then saw that it really was Parle in another record.  When we have two records for the same couple then we can read the name properly in the second record, if we had a problem with the first record.  Names are not shortened.

In these records the name of the father is given in almost every case and where a child was born outside marriage the word illigitimate is placed beside the child’s name.  When the parish was notified of a marriage in later years, then this information is placed with the baptismal record.
