Thank You AustinQ....

The above is what I have identified plus a Thomas Baptised 12th June 1867 mother "Betty" Shanahan in some entries Peter's surname is Manning !!

Could you check for the Wm Fitzgerald Marriage to Mary Regan ?
In the Church Reg.for James Baptism 29th (not 9th) May 1867 the PP has made a notation ILLegit.....I cannot locate a marriage for the couple after this as the Registers are missing.

I don't see a marriage for William Fitzgerald and Mary Regan- I don't think they were married. Both sons, William and James have an abbreviated "illegitimate" before their names in the parish register (both born in the workhouse).

Many thanks for the O'Brien /Slattery Marriage. The Waterford Registers are a nightmare to read in places but that is my g. grandparents Marriage.

The reason I was looking for the Fitzgerald/Regan marriage following James' birth was the PP would have plenty to say about having children without being married !!
