Baptism & Marriage records from St. Dymphnia R.C. Church in Kildalkey

MeathKildalkey (Meath)

Are the baptism & marriage records from St. Dymphnia's R.C. Church in Kildalkey available anywhere online?

I have information that Christopher Jones was married to Eleanor Breslan in the R.C. Church in Kildalkey on 23 Nov 1784 and had two known children: Jenny/Jane Jones born about 1800 & Christopher Jones born about 1827 in Portanob, Kildalkey.

If the records from the Kildalkey church are available either online or from some other source, I'd like to know. If not, I'd like to know if I can pay for information.

Thank you for any advice that you can offer.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The Kildalkey records are on the subscription site Roots Ireland. Below is the marriage transcription which shows 1794 instead of 1784. Also there were two baptismal records for Bridget Jones, one in the 1795 and the other in 1799. Same sponsors. I have to believe one of the records is an error likely the 1799 record. I did not find a record for Jane or Christopher with the same parents.

Dear Mr. McDonnell:

Many thanks for putting me on the right track.

I'm long overdue for another visit to Kildalkey and Ballivor where my Jones, Douglas, Dixon, Keegan & Kearney people came from.

I have a website that you might be interested in, DeliaPublications.com, which includes some work by Kildalkey historian, Frank Kelly (RIP).  Frank and I documented the gravestones in Old Killyon Cemetery in 2001.

There's a bunch of other things on the website that you might be interested.  Take a look and if anyone would like to contact me, my email is RoArd29@aol.com.

Sincerely,

Rosemary Ardolina

Queens County, New York
