Birth or baptismal information for William Benjamin Gordon

Breaghwy (Mayo)

Hello,

I am searching for the birth or baptismal record for William Benjamin Gordon. I believe he was born 11 May 1831 in Breaffy, Co. Mayo. Parents names: Edward Gordon and Mary (or Braeger) Reid.

I believe this to be the family in Griffith's Valuation:

Any information on this family will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Colette!

I'm assuming this family was Roman Catholic?

The baptismal records for the combined parish of Aglish(Castlebar), Breaffy and Ballyhean do not start until 1838. Marriages start in 1824.

I searched the subscription site and could not find a marriage record for Edward Gordon and Mary Reid or any Mary.

I also did not find a baptismal record for younger siblings of William.
