Hi Graeme
I searched www.rootsireland.ie/ for the birth/baptism of Peter Connelly with parents James & Bridget 1849 in Louth - parish is Termenfeckin
I then searched for more children with same parents' names of course 1849 + - 20 years and got 15 matches so it was a big family (they were back then) or there was 1 or more other families with parents of the same name.
I'll try to attach the pages.http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie/quis.php?page=1&confirmPageView=Y

There is a magnifying glass at the end of each record. If you click on it it will give you a list of parishes; if you left click Terminfeckin to highlight it it will be displayed in the Parish / District box. Click search to see if the selected record is from there but I tried a few with no luck!
