Rev. Arundel Hill was Church of Ireland (Anglican) minister at Fermoy, which means that the could in question must have been Protestant. Later members of the family may have converted to the Roman Catholic faith.

Cork / Re: Methodist church Fermoy

Yes, there was a Wesleyan Church in Fermoy. It is still standing but it ceased to be used as a place of worship in 1922. Unfortunately, it is now used as a motor factors and, as a result, looks the worse for wear. The church was the scene of an ambush against British forces in 1920. I've attached a photo of the Wesleyan Church from my book 'Fermoy on the Blackwater.' I'm afraid I don't know where you might go for baptismal records, but it is possible that the National Archives of Ireland may have them on microfilm. Bill Power
