Part 717s – Brunhammer Doherty Genealogy – 1866 Birth and Baptism – Great-Grandmother Mary Helen Sheridan

Good Day,

Today my genealogy search takes a veer to the left, or is it the right, in the discovery of the ancestors of the Doherty Family Line. From the Registers of Baptisms of St. Peter’s Church in Wilmington I have located the Baptism Registration of great-grandmother Mary Helen (née Sheridan) Doherty.

The date of great-grandmother Mary Helen’s baptism is 15 August 1866. A daughter of gg-grandparents Thomas and Helen (née Haley) Sheridan, her birth is recorded at the day previous, 14 August.

Here is the image of the page from the Church records as downloaded from Item 4 of the microfilm [1787748].

The Latin transcription –

Augustus 1866

15th Baptizavi Mariam Helena filiam Thomas Sheridan
et Helena Haley natam heri Sponsores Eugenium
Sheridan et Maria Hayes.

P.R. Obrien

And my translation –

August 1866

15th baptized Mary Helen, daughter of Thomas Sheridan
and Helen Haley, born yesterday, Sponsors Eugene
Sheridan and Mary Hayes.

P.R. O’Brien

And now I have some new information to add to my Sheridan Descendant Chart.

Stay-tuned, and enjoy,
