yes - where Latin is used Church registers , Owen/Eoin/Eoghan is usually recorded as 'Eugenius' or similar. The exact endings vary depending on the wording etc
Most first names are more straightforward - e.g. Joannes for John, Maria for Mary, Katherina for Catherine/Katherine, Martarita for Margaret, others are not so obvious - e.g. Guliemus for William, Jacobus for James, Carolous for CharlesThere are a number of online pages listing Latin Equivalents, e.g. RootsIreland : First Names

Can you give more details regarding Kilbride parish and the link taking you to a different page. I just went to the Kilbride Roscommon parish page with no issue.
