Thomas was baptized at Knocknamuckley on Aug 2, 1864. He was said to be born March 26, 1864 to William McCutcheon and Mary Fulton, apparently unmarried. Yes, I know and I would clip this out and attach it if my clip function worked today. Illegitimate is written across the entry. Ballydougan is mentioned and weaver.
There are 2 Fultons families in Ballydougan in 1857 with no Mary listed. Widowed Catherine 56 with children Jane 26, Margaret 17and granddau Eliza Jane 8.. Also the household William 60,. Elizabeth 63, Ellen 23 and James 19. All were weaving families. Nicholas and family is in Bleary and there is no Mary there either.
The only McCutcheon in the church is Francis and Jane of Ballynagarrick and they had a son William John baptized in 1852. They had son Hugh and dau Mary Ann earlier and are not included in the 1857 census which does not list everyone who baptized their children there.
