For Catholics here, the threat of dying with the stain of 'original sin' was so horrific, I cannot imagine any delays in arranging the baptism, although, the mother was undoubtedly treated unkindly and the ugly word 'illegitimate' was often recorded in the baptism register.

The church usually has strong guidelines about that. Colleen G.

Although they lived there at a much later date — the late 19th & early 20th century — my paternal great-grandfather and his family lived at 6.5 Bow Bridge, and all of their children were baptised in the parish of St. James.

It seems Mary Anne was in her early thirties, though available evidence suggests Maurice may have been about ten years younger - maybe this was the reason? guess we'll never know.

It seems that there you had to get the permission of the local lord and pay a sizeable marriage fee and they just didn't have it together in time. Anything like that in Ireland?Jo Hennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566276500934815959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900963722618733171.post-4965945593958650852015-03-14T12:06:58.842+00:002015-03-14T12:06:58.842+00:00Interesting story.

Did they hide "the horrible truth"? Is this why the couple moved away once they married? I guess you've had these same questions.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
