Im looking for a RC baptism of a Robert Butler late 1870 early 1871 in this area. The ecclesiastical parish is St Gabriel's (obv. the anglican parish)
If anyone has access to baptisms for this area and or marriages for the marriage of Joseph and Mary I'd appreciate it.
Best regards.

Louth / Number of Baptisms DUNDALK
« on: Tuesday 26 July 11 09:22 BST (UK) »
I was talking to a good friend of mine regarding this parish.
I haven't a clue how it came about. (probably the numbers involved while searching)
1835 was the year chosen at random........ 490 basptisms were carried out in the parish in 1835. When one says baptism circa 1833-1837 which you should give youself (at least) when searching you can see how the total multiplies and of course the chance of the names coming up twice increase too.
It is always wise to widen the search years.
Finally,yes the entries were individually counted.

You'll find there are many versions of the truth.
Pedestals and rose tinted glasses have no place in War or History.
Happy New Year all.

Good luck on your recovery.
Though I think you should widen your reading material on Haig.
I'll leave this thread alone now......... I think most recognise he was one of the most stubborn of military leaders who cost far too many lives.
I believe it was his inability to learn from past mistakes that will consign him to being a weak military leader in most people's eyes.

I googled it.......78
3 drowned
12 (at least) by sniper
Quite a number by shell fire
22 small arms fire
1 accidentally poisoned
1 cholera
By the way I take your point on tanks.......... though he did start off in 1914 with cavalry charges. ( ex cavalry officer)
I believe his persistence with sending wave after wave of soldiers over the top knowingly they'd get mown down is what he will be remembered for.
I've also checked Germans that were executed in WWI and the figure is considerably lower than the 300+ that the British carried out.
So the US and Germany were considerably less than the British........ France executed double that of the British but Id be interested to know how many were Afro-French.
