    Got the free 14 day sub to FindMyPast (saw that it has all the parish records transcribed) and was able to find my grandfather's birth in 1877 (both him and my father had children at a late age).

    Can anyone make out information not in the transcript? Is the line below godparents? (Looks like Thomas & Margaret Moloney?)

    EDIT: Actually RootsIreland does list the godparents, while FindMyPast doesn't. Strange they omitted it, lack of time I guess.
