Oct 21st            Birth of James McQuilquin

son of Patrick and Anna McQuilquin ( Harty )

Godparents - Daniel McQuilquin & Mary McQuilquin

Very interesting - in 1861, Daniel and Mary appear to be living in Garbutt St with brother James McQuilquin - yet no parents appear to be there. Also further knowledge re place of birth for the whole household suggests a re-examination of 1861 census records.
