Cormack-838 was born in July 1889 in Urlingford County Kilkenny. She was not given a name at birth  but I cannot find a death record for her. Were unnamed infants subsequently registered with a name ?  Her mother died shortly after her birth

Thats a quare one, usually if a child is given a name post-registration it's listed in the final column?

I have however found her death record. She died aged just three months in Urlingford Workhouse.

Thank you Feargal  I wonder if there's a baptismal record for her.

The NLI doesn't come recent enough in either Urlingford or Johnstown, so I'd say the only chance you'd have of finding a baptism would be to contact the parish.

Thank you Something else to investigate next time I get to the Emerald Isle

Was this common practice to put such a child in the workhouse as her father Michael had several siblings with children who possibly could have cared for her?
