I lo...Thanks very much for your comments Charlotte. I love Austen too. Mary Brien does seem to have been quite a woman. Hopefully in his memoir Kettle wasn't inflating her role. Stories about her healing abilities were certainly passed down. <br /><br />BTW, if you want to know which Roman Catholic parish registers are available on the microfilm at the National Library, you can download PDF lists of the parish registers, including dates, from the NLI website: http://www.nli.ie/en/parish-register.aspx A good way to ‘wet your whistle’, until they’re digitized. Let me know if anything rings a bell and I’ll have a look for you when I’m in Dub in January.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-75645489651850588392014-12-31T13:50:04.124+00:002014-12-31T13:50:04.124+00:00Love Jane Austen, well, Mr. Darcy, so love this.

I'm looking forward to the release of the parish registers online. Maybe there will be something in them for me.<br />Charlotte Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894689884941333468noreply@blogger.com
