Dick,
I looked at a film that was quite a pain in the rump in trying to find a baptism in the 1880's for John KEEGAN's daughter-in-law, Mary HESLIN, but it doesn't sound like the same film you've looked at.
It was FHL 1279224 Parochial Registers of Aughavas Leitrim 1845 - 1968, also in Latin.I never did find Mary's baptism nor that of her sister Rose.It appeared that only her sistersBridgit and Sarah were baptized which I thought odd.A couple of people have told me that the Irish were not all that diligent about the baptisms and that this wasn't as odd as I thought.
Mary must have been baptized at some point because she and John's son Bartholomew married in the Catholic Church in RI. With nothing in the records over in Leitrim, maybe she got redone over here prior to marriage.I've been trying to find if the marriage file that would have been created prior to marriage and would have contained proof of birth and baptism still exists at the church they married in.
Do you know off hand the FHL# for the film you looked at?It sounds as if it's one that I should look at.I've dispared of ever being able to go back much farther than John and his marriage to Mary Harrahan in St, Joseph's Aughavas in 1865.
BTW - have you been to this site?http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/index.shtmlhttp://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/index.shtml
and I don't know what parish you're looking at but here is a site for Aughavas and Cloone Parishes - http://homepage.eircom.net/~aughavascloone/index.htmhttp://homepage.eircom.net/~aughavascloone/index.htm
