I am eternally grateful to my friend Doreen in Ireland who first found Christopher and Elizabeth Cuthbert and their family in the Delgany parish records, getting me back one further generation. The Parish Registers of Christ Church Delgany show the baptisms of their children:
Mary, Nov 1769;
Robert, May 1772;
Christopher, Dec 1774;
Charles, March 1776;
William, Jan 1779 ;
John, Nov 1781; and
Jane, Jan 1791.
The family lived at Windgate at the time of at least one of the baptisms.
William is my great great grandfather and I’ve traced many of his descendants down to the present. Charles was the subject of a fascinating court case which I’ll describe later on. I would be interested in learning more about the other children and their descendants.
The Parish Registers of Christ Church Delgany are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. A transcription is at the Society of Genealogists Library in London.
