--- newspaper: irishgenealogy.ie church-records index page (printout) date: 1864-05-28 page: Eyeries book 3, page 13, entry 8 --- Transcribed 2026-09-26 by an Opus agent from Joe Murphy's photograph of his printout (email 'Part #3', 19 Apr 2026). ## Image 2: `joe-2026-04-19-part3/image2.jpeg` (email "Part #3", 19 Apr 2026) ### (a) What it is A phone photograph of a **paper printout of an irishgenealogy.ie church-records detail page**, lying on a brown cloth surface. It is a **typed transcription (index) table, not a register image**. The banner area at the top is blank (the site's header graphic did not print). The nav bar reads: Home (Welcome!) | Church Records (To Church Records site) | Research in Ireland (Get Help) | Useful Links (Other sites of interest) | News (and Updates) | Feedback (Contact Us). This is an **older layout than image 1's**: there is no "Civil Records" or "2016" tab, and "Research in Ireland" replaces "Research". The footer reads: Home / Site Usage Policy / Privacy Policy / Feedback. Below it, very faint, is the department logo: "An Roinn / Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta[?] / Department of / Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht[?]". - **There is no browser print footer: no URL, no print date, no page count.** - Record reference: **Book Number "Eyeries 3", Page 13, Entry Number 8, Record_Identifier KY-RC-BA-230035.** - The page states: "The church register page containing this record has not yet been imaged." **No register image was available to the site when this page was printed.** - **Inference:** civil records were added to irishgenealogy.ie in 2016, and the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht carried that name from 2011 to 2016. With no Civil Records tab and that department logo, the printout probably dates from about 2011 to 2016, some years before image 1's print of Oct 2020. This is not certain: the logo alone does not date the print. ### (b) Verbatim transcription > **Area - KERRY (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - EYERIES** > Baptism of MICHAEL MURPHY of BALLYCROVANE on 28 May 1864 > Back to search results > > | | | > |---|---| > | Name | MICHAEL MURPHY | > | Date of Birth | 28 May 1864 (BASED ON OTHER DATE INFORMATION) | > | Address | BALLYCROVANE | > | Father | JAMES NR | > | Mother | MARGARET HARRINGTON | > > **Further details in the record** > > | | | > |---|---| > | Father Occupation | NR | > | Sponsor 1 | BARTHOLOMEW NR | > | Sponsor 2 | MARY NR | > | Priest | MICHAEL O'REILLY | > > **About the record** > > | Book Number | Page | Entry Number | Record_Identifier | > |---|---|---|---| > | Eyeries 3 | 13 | 8 | KY-RC-BA-230035 | > > The church register page containing this record has not yet been imaged. > Report any error in transcription. Checked at full resolution: all values above are sharp, including "28 May 1864", "KY-RC-BA-230035", "Eyeries 3 / 13 / 8" and "MICHAEL O'REILLY" (with an apostrophe). ### (c) Baptism details as shown - **Child:** MICHAEL MURPHY. - **Baptism date:** **28 May 1864** (the heading "Baptism of ... on 28 May 1864"). The date of birth field repeats 28 May 1864 with the note "(BASED ON OTHER DATE INFORMATION)". - **Parents:** Father **"JAMES NR"**. As transcribed, the father's surname is not recorded; the child's surname MURPHY is the only Murphy on the page. Mother **"MARGARET HARRINGTON"**. - **Sponsors:** "BARTHOLOMEW NR"; "MARY NR" (no surnames recorded). - **Priest:** MICHAEL O'REILLY. Father's occupation: NR. - **Townland/address:** **BALLYCROVANE**. - **Parish:** **EYERIES**, **KERRY (RC)** diocese. Notes (inference, not printed): - **Inference:** "NR" in this layout means not recorded. The Kerry transcriptions often leave the father's surname blank when it matches the child's, so "JAMES NR" is most likely James Murphy. The page does not say so. - This is one of the two baptisms Joe described (Michael). The **Daniel** baptism is not on this image. Nothing on this page mentions a Patrick or the date 7 April 1850. - **Inference:** "Ballycruane" in Joe's description (the 7 Apr 1850 Patrick) is probably this Ballycrovane. ### (d) Confidence **High** for the transcription. The type is clear and every field was checked in enlarged crops. The only uncertain words are the faint department logo, which does not affect the record. The father's surname is **not shown**: reading "JAMES NR" as James Murphy is an inference. ---
