Anne Curran 1857-1884

Annes baptismal record as seen in parish records

I stumbled across this document in my photos and thought i'd put it up on line, it reads:

Curran   30(january 1857) Anne of Francis and Sarah Doyle   Drumphea.    in the next line it shows the sponsors, Pat Nolan and Mary Fitzgerald.

Anne is the second eldest sister of my Grandfather Martin Curran.

Unfortunately, civil records for births in Ireland generally go back to 1864, it is then that you have to turn to these parish records. Though this is a really good example of  such work, other examples can be very scruffy or damaged, making the deciphering not so easy.

Anne died aged only 27 and 10 months in 1884, possibly in Drumphea too.
