No Baptism For Moses?

[Wexflyer]

There is a civil registration for the birth of Moses Doyle in Templeudigan (OS spelling Templeludigan)
in April, 1867.

Curiously, I can't find a corresponding baptism. The parish registers for Rathnure (AKA Templeudigan) exist.
I searched under Christian names Moses, Aidan/Aiden, and Mogue (all equivalent), and also the Latin versions, Aidanus and Edanus. I also checked for a surname other than Doyle, in case a father was named.

No sign! Strange - the reverse of the usual case of a missing civil registration.

By reference to the underlying original film number, that is his birth registration, not baptism.
They have mistakenly labeled it a "christening". Their usual sloppy job.

There is a separate entry for the civil birth

They frequently index the same item multiple times in different collections.

Here is the April 1867 Templeudigan parish register.  No sign of Moses.

Click on the Batch no. info on FamilySearch for the "christening" film no. you provided, viz:

You will see many names from all over Ireland, all in the same period of 1867 - all obviously from Civil Registration (which you can double check), all incorrectly labeled as "christenings".

In other words, all Irish civil registrations in that period seem to have been indexed as christenings by FamilySearch.

Do you have him in later records?
Did he stay with Eliza, his mother?
I am just wondering if she was not from that parish, however, I can’t see a baptism anywhere else.

With a name such as Moses, is there a possibility that the family were Jewish?
And therefore no COI or RC baptism.

Nice try sir! LOL.

No, Moses is not a reference (directly) to the Jewish prophet, but to St. Aidan, the first bishop and patron saint of the diocese of Ferns - which is almost coterminous with county Wexford.

St. Aidan was also known by his pet name as Mogue, from a Gaelic contraction of "my young Aodh", where Aodh is the Gaelic version of Aidan.
Of course, Mogue was, shall we say disfavored by the British colonial overlords, as with all Irish Gaelic names, so they "translated" Mogue as Moses.

Thus Moses = Mogue = Aidan.

One and the same person can turn up under all three variants.
