    Hi Neonknickers,

    I've moved your post to a new thread, as the other one is just for deciphering stuff.

    When did this family live? If it's before 1908 Ne Temere, it's very possible that the boys were raised COI like their father.

    one set of my great, great, great, great grandparents who married in C of I 1790, had sons baptised C of I, and daughters baptised RC. In the 18th century, it was desirable for sons to be part of the established church, so they could buy land etc, which would be limited by the penal laws, if they were RC. This factor had gone by the 1780s, but many mixed marriages would have continued this ecumenical practice. As the RC church became more confident/assertive/arrogant in the 19th and 20th centuries, this practice declined.
