Baptism records for the children of Michael Devany and Mary Noon

by Conrad & Judy Terrill, last modified 23 Dec 2023

All of these records are from the Ancestry.com database "Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915" Diocese: Elphin, Parish: Frenchpark, Liber Baptizatorum 1865-1907 (Book of the baptized). Access to this database requires a paid subscription to Ancestry.com. The records extend across a left-hand page and a right-hand page, and have been split here into two pieces. The year of the baptism is given in the heading on the left-hand page, and is not visible in these record pieces, but is noted in the caption above the pieces. The column headings (and the records themselves) are in Latin. The left-most column, the number of the record on the page, is unimportant, and sometimes not even given. From there the columns record the name of the child, the birth date, name of father and maiden name of mother, where they were living (Arraghan for all, here), date of baptism, name of Parish Pastor conducting the ceremony, the sponsors (godparents), and any special circumstances (only "sub conditione" in these records, meaning, basically, "on condition that the child has not already been baptized," since it was not permitted in the Roman Catholic Church to baptize a child more than once).
