Well you just think you know something and they something else crops up.
Tonight talking to a relie she tells me that she has a record someone gave her from the IGI for John McCrohon's baptism (from his military records he was born 1795 in Limerick) it is RC Crondon Park, Essex Name John McCrohon (not sure if the surname is spelt like that) parents John and Margaret, baptism 1 March 1807. All I can think is that either he hadn't been baptised or they didn't have a record of his baptism for his confirmation. Can anyone view the original record and see if it gives his age?

Is there some way you can connect the Limerick John with Essex John?

Parents names are the same, John and Margaret. There also was a John McCrohon who was in the East Kent Regiment at that time. I haven't followed through with checking, but I feel this could be why John Junior was enlisting at Cueta aged 15. I just hoped that the baptism register of this John might say his age which the IGI doesn't.

No I don't unfortunately I tried too. M. isn't computer literate and said it was from the IGI and what did that mean!! The problem with McCrohon is spelt in all sorts of funny ways - I've seen McCrone, McCrohan, even Crone and that is in Australia!!

No I should but I get a bit wary after what people have said about the unsubstantiated records that people put on there. I think Ammanda has as she has quoted from Allycat.

Some of the same people have Thomas Gray so probably rellies you already know. Any results you get from anyone are unsubstantiated until you've found them yourself so that's not really a problem.

It's only an issue when you take what others say as gospel without double checking.

That's from experience....lol

Yo. When I get to the library I will look see. If Jan H. is on there, I was in correspondence with her years ago and she was very good. As are Ian M and Marcel.
