This is a baptismal index of the names of children baptised in the Roman Catholic parish of Rathdowney (Co. Laois/Queen’s Co.) during the years 1880-1881
The following table of baptisms is transcribed from Microfilm No. 5014 held online by the National Library of Ireland accessible through their Roman Catholic Parish Register Search page. All names and surnames given here are as I read them.
The register is in English. Place names are given. My list is sorted by year, alphabetically using the surname of the child. Question marks indicate letters or words I had a problem reading. The letters ‘sic’ indicate that is how I read the letters I have typed.
