In Response To: Re: Esther Cork(h)ill ()

Some confusion here. Or do you think she was born in Lezayre (1851 census), but bapt Andreas? It is the only bapt which is close to Esther's age as given in 1851.
On the other hand not every child has a bapt record, and although children were sometimes bapt in the mother's parish when it was a different one to where they were living (she went home for the birth?), or when it was a church they were accustomed to attending and they had recently moved parishes, it is unusual to be born in one parish and baptised in another. Exceptions were delayed baptisms recorded with ages in the register.
