My wife's 2nd great-grandfather, Patrick Hyde, was baptized on March 13, 1835 in Newcastle; Counties of Tipperary, Waterford; Diocese of Waterford and Lismore as his record lists. At what church might that baptism have occurred?

Great thanks for any guidance you can provide.

  • Greg,

    It is difficult to know that church Patrick was baptised in due the name variants for Nerwcastle.

    Map of the Civil Parish attached.

    Subscription Site www.rootsireland.ie records the parish of Newcastle. No address for the parents - Michael Hyde and Ellen Beston. Baptismal Sponsors: Michael Beston and Ellen Lonergan.

    Regards,

  • I found the baptism of Thomas Hyde, who appears to be the older brother of your Patrick.  Thomas's mother is said to be Ellen "Burton" not "Beston."

  • To McCoy & Patricia,

       Thank you very much for your quick reply and for the information you provided. I am not sure why I initially wrote that it was County Tipperary.I believe it was transcribed that way in an Ancestry page I was researching.Though it does appear on the map that Newcastle "straddles" both Counties(?)

    Sending good thoughts your way.
