My great-grandfather Philip Coyle was originally from Tonaghmore in the parish of St. Feighins. I think his mother was Ann Masterson, father Thomas Coyle. Philip was born 1833. Do you think it would be possible for me to obtain a baptismal certificate for Philip and who would I write to? Or could anybody look up the name Coyle in the Tithe Books?

Hi There, tithe books are available free to view at the link below, I even popped in Masterson for you. We would be very distantly related, possibly, if Anna was a daughter of the Tonashammer Mastersons.

Rootsweb.ie is a good place to find baptismal records but be aware, certificates are impossible to have as they are not available.
Kind regards, Allan

Firstly I was absolutely amazed at getting answers to my question a whole 16 years after I put the question on ;D
Thank you so much for this information - I shall be retiring in 6 months and cannot wait to get back into my family history. I will get back to you when I've had time to digest this information. Thank you again.

I am fairly certain that Anne was the daughter of Laurence (married in 1792 to Ann Cullin). Anne was born in 1803. Laurence is my great, great, great, great Grandfather.
