My GGP's were Charles Duffy(1865-1928) and Bridget Cummins 1864 -1936.
Bridget:
Ireland, Select Births and Baptisms, 1620-1911
Name Bridget Cummins
Gender Female
Birth Date 12 Aug 1864
Birth Place Raphoe, Donegal, Ireland
Father Charles Cummins
Mother Eleanor Duffy
FHL Film Number 101091
================================
I am trying to find out what Raphoe looked like then. I want to determine what RC Church she was Baptized at (in 1864-5). I know she came to the States and settles in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Any information would be so appreciated.

See eighth record for Bridget's civil birth record. The family lived in either Magherahaan or Magherahee townland. Hard to decipher writing

Here is the website for the RC parish of Raphoe. https://parishofraphoe.com/
Do you have any information on the parents of Charles Duffy?

Hi
Magheracar is in Bundoran, county Donegal.
Its south Donegal.
It is within the diocese of Raphoe.
Good luck with your search.

first record at link for Charles Duffy https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…;
It appears family lived in Carrickbrack townland. There are two Carrickbrack townlands. One in Raphoe parish and the other in Convoy parish. Those two civil parishes are side by side so I'm not sure which parish Charles was from.
seventh record for Sophia Cummins 1869 Looks like the family lived in Magherahaan townland.

Regarding your Cummins ancestral info, I took a quick glance and have some questions. By the way, Raphoe RC baptismal records do not start until 1863 which makes it very difficult to do research for your family. You have Charles born in Donegal in 1835 but baptized in Dublin at age 3?? You have Sophia and John born in Strabane Co. Tyrone. Strabane was the registration district and covered four full parishes in Co. Tyrone and also two full parishes and two partial parishes in Co. Donegal including Raphoe. They were both born in Donegal.
