CLONCHA PARISH REGISTERS BIRTHS 1669-1783
[From the late Doctor Robert S. Young, 1898.]
The date of the earliest Parish Register of this parish, as
given in the Report of the Deputy-keeper of the Public Records,
in 1824. It is therefore of much consequence that these early
records should be preserved by being now printed. They are
probably the only records existing of the events they mention. - [Ed.]
