Laois - Parish of Borris-in-Ossory (RC) baptisms Killasmeestia families *********************************************** Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Laois (Queens) Index Copyright ************************************************ File contributed by: Geralyn Barry gbarry@proaxis.com PARISH OF BORRIS-IN-OSSORY (RC) BAPTISMS - KILLASMEESTIA FAMILIES A few years ago, I extracted the following baptisms from FHL 0926188 [parish registers of Borris-in-Ossory Catholic parish, County Laois, Ireland] for families living in Killasmeestia (which is spelled various ways in the records). All spellings are as I read them from the film; there is often a lot of variation in the spelling of the names of places and people in Irish records. For example, in Griffith's, there are people named McClane - probably the McClean, McLean, Maclean, MacClean, etc. in the records below. extracted from FHL 0926188 by Geralyn Wood Barry [parish registers of Borris-in-Ossory Catholic parish, County Laois, Ireland] 6 Apr 1841 Denis, John Burden & Eliza Brophy; Michl Kiravan & Mary McLean; Killimista 8 Apr 1841 Kyran, Thos Brophy & Anastasia Tobin; Jas Curren & Mary Marnel; Killimista 14 May 1843 Edwd, Michl Clinch & Mary White; Wm Macclean & Bridget Shelly; Killasm- 10 June 1843 Margt, [parents] John Maclean & Mary Lowry; [sponsors] Pierce Dowling & Ellen Dowling; [residence] Killasmist- 3 May 1844 John, John Hunt & Mary Burke; Mrs Tom Maher ; Killasmystha Vagi [means perhaps not native to Killasmestia?] 9 May 1844 Ellen, Edwd Sparrow & Ellen Keiravan; Pat Keiravan & Fanny Fletcher; Killasmystha 21 Jan 1845 Joanna, Wm Rafter & Bridget Conroy; John Moran & Mary Lalor; Killasmystha 24 Feb 1845 Charles, Denis Kenedy & Bridget Keye; Pat Keiravan & Mary Kenedy; Killasmystha 7 Aug 1845 Mary, Thomas Brophy & Nancy Tobin; Timothy Tobin & Judy Tobin; Killasmystha 17 Aug 1845 Charles, Edwd Sparrow & Ellen Kirwan; Edmond Keiravan & Mary Bowe; Killasmystha 28 Feb 1846 Mary, John Maclean & Mary Lowry; George Burden & Mary Maclean; Killasmystha 14 June 1846 Lydia, Michl Clinch & Mary White; John McLean & Judy Shelly; Killasmystha 19 July 1846 John, Denis Kenedy & Bridgt Keye; Edmund Kirwan & Mrs [-e--is; looks like Jervis or Lewis]; Killasmystha 1 Jan 1847 Joanna, Thomas Brophy & Nancy Tobin; Patk Shelly & Mrs James Shelly; Killasmystha 6 Jan 1847 Edwd, Pat Kirwan & Mary Keye; Wm Keye & Mrs Fanning; Killasmystha 19 Oct 1847 Wm, Wm Lewis & Judy Tobin; Wm Walsh & Mrs Ml Fitzpatrick; Killasmystha 5 Dec 1847 Wm, Kyran Mullowney & Rose Brenan; Denis Kenedy & Judy Carroll; Killasmystha 25 Feb 1848 Timothy, Pat Brophy & Margaret Brophy; Thomas Brophy & Wd Maher; Killasmystha 31 Aug 1848 Jas, James Lahey & Margt Byrnes (alias Houlter); Mrs Juggy Maher; Killasmystha illeg 12 Dec 1848 Mary, Denis Kenedy & Bridgt Keye; Jeremiah Delany & Catherine Lewis; K.smystha I also extracted the following marriage, which appears to be for the couple who later lived in Killasmeestia: 17 Aug 1844 [bride & groom] Denis Kenedy & Bridget Keye; [residence] Garran; [witnesses] Daniel Phelan & Mary Kenedy; [residence] Garran
