Hi dont know if it is possible to find out if Patrick Neill baptised on the 4th April 1849 Kilbeggan who married Mary Keirnan on the 27th oct 1868 Devlin Westmeath is the son of Charles Neill and Anne Cronly.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Civil marriage registration started in 1868 but it appears that Patrick and Mary did not register their marriage civilly (at least I can find a record). This is unfortunate since civil marriage records do show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and if it Charles was shown, you would have confirmed the 1849 baptismal record. Was was the name of their oldest son?

Hi Roger thanks once again for your prompt reply.Dont know if i have got this right,if it was the name of Charles and Annes oldest son it was James Nail baptised in Kilbeggan 8th may 1844.If it was Patrick and Marys oldest son Patrick he was baptised 3rd oct 1875 Devlin Westmeath,thanks again.
Best regards Thomas
Hi Thomas!
I was hoping the oldest son of Patrick and Mary was named Charles. Many families followed the custom of naming the oldest son after the paternal grandfather. All the best!
Roger
I understand thanks Roger.
Best regards Thomas.
