The baptismal records for Drum/Balla/Manulla RC parish start in May 1837. I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and found one baptismal record for a son of James Swanick and Anne Walsh. Robert Swanick was baptized December 12 1841 at the Balla RC church. Sponsors were Arthur Swanick and Bridget Walsh likely brother and sister to the two parents. Family live in Carrowjames.

Thank you for the information!
I'll continue to dig, but this is a big step in my proving the connection.
