My paternal gg grandmother had my g-grandfather illegitimately in Dromard, Sligo, (no name recorded in the baptismal record). The domocile is also not recorded. As far as I can make out, her family lived in Dromard.
Does anybody have an idea of the reason for this?
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Many parishes baptismal records do not show townland information particularly the further back in the 19th century you go. The priest made the call on showing a townland.

Thanks Roger,
However all the other records on the scanned page had the domicile recorded, that's why I think it's a bit odd.

peckerdunne that's a name from the past! Great singer.
Name and year of ancestor please, more than likely the townland would be on previous pages.

Thanks for your reply Margot,
James Giblin was baptised on 05/12/1853. His mother was Ann Giblin, from Skreen, Co. Sligo, I reckon. Mother and child emigrated to Scotland sometime before 1861. The previous page's record are all from Ross, I uploaded the relevant image from Ancestry.
I don't know where I came up with peckerdunne as a userid; probably just popped into my head at the time (no relation).
Thanks

Hi Peter,
This is annoying not having the townland.
As you say...all the previous pages were from Ross......................
This is the actual Parish book, I think the one you had was the Bishop's book.
James is on the right hand page at the bottom. No townland, above there is Ross.. next above Leek real name Leekfield, then above that Carrow?

I have searched the above book for Ann Giblin, I will keep looking.
In the tithe records at the time of Ann's birth there are 2 Gilbin men.

I will have another look for Ann.

Thanks Margot. That's a great help. Apologies for the late reply. I got involved in another project last week.
I'll see if I can dig some more info.
Oddly enough, a new Y-DNA match appeared on ftdna last week. The surname is Daugherty, that's the second one, so another rabbit hole to go down.
