Title: Who are Rachel/Rachael Agnew parents?
Post by: Glaves on Sunday 21 June 20 16:06 BST (UK)

Hi!

I am researching my ancestor Rachel/Rachael Agnew. I came upon this baptism record from Ireland but can't read much beyond 'Rachael of (can't read) Agnew'

Any help deciphering would be much appreciated! She is the second to last record.

Thanks in advance.

It could be Ann Doris (Agnew).

Hi,

Thankyou so much for all you help!

I was digging through the parish record earlier and came upon this - a document I've really needed from 2 years later. Same parish and baptism record.

The daughter is named Elen, but it also looks incredibly similar to her mothers spelling. Could it be that Ann's name is Elen also or does this actually say Ann as well? Think the last name mystery is solved in this much clearer document - Doras/Donas
