    This is the Baptism record for Harriette

    OH oh, it says Private baptism at 17 Queen Square!!! That usually means that the child is unwell or not strong enough to be taken to the church...... I am assuming that St Mark's is a Roman Catholic Church............

    OK so now I am thinking that perhaps John Charles (the father) arranged this because, of course, Bessie was Jewish so there would have been.............. difficulties from a priest about conversion etc unless she stayed in bed and the priest never saw her.

    OH I love my family!

    Thank you again paddyfields. wait until I tell the family.

    St Marks was , in 1880, a Church of Ireland (Anglican) parish church. Today it is a Pentecostal church belonging to Christian Churches Ireland, the Irish branch of the Assemblies of God denomination.

    Thank you for that. This family continues to throw up strangeness. Just when I think I have things straight along comes a neat little fact to stir up the sediment in my pond.
    I go back to my original thought that the child was not expected to survive and that's why she was baptised at the residence and not the church.
    I will need to find her death................... I know she was alive in 1911 because someone found her on the census for me. I have a picture she sent to her sister in America and the clothing looks to be 1940s. OOOh I could put it on here and let the experts we have in our membership take a look.
    Isn't it amazing how one simple post can generate so many questions? I just love this obsession of ours

    Hi Ladkyis. I have been looking up family for a while I had a great aunt who was born at 26 Queens Square 1880 (when I first looked) my Grandfather was born in upper or lower Urne st 1878 so he would have lived there as well. Last time I looked it said 26 Dunnes Square which I cannot find. Things I have found previously I no longer seem to find. Regards John Keogh
