Jo,

Regarding the birth of James (1856) that Eileen posted, I think that the priest made an error when he entered the information in the registry because this shows that Dennis Coleman and Anna Hanratty are his parents. If you look at the entire page on the site https://www.registers.nli.ie, you will see his parents' names written very small in the entry...Bernard and Bridget, her surname is not given though. These errors have occurred in other entries as well, so don't be too concerned. The baptism records for the RC parish of Muckno began in 1835, so it is curious why the other children you mention do not have a record. I could not find their baptism records on Roots Ireland (paid site). What I did see though were children born to a Bernard Coleman and different mothers in another RC parish. Are you certain about all the siblings?

BTW, the witnesses for Bernard's and Bridget's marriage were James Hanratty and Edward Coleman as seen on Roots Ireland.

Regards,

Carolyn
