Hello John,
You probably think that I have forgotten all about youand your project at this stage!
I am attaching a birth and baptismal certificate for William Brophill. He is the only one of that name recorded in 1882so hopefully the records match William named on your family tree. I am typing atranscription for you below just in case you find the writing difficult to read.
Birth: registered in the District of Killoughy in the Union of Tullamore in the County of King's
Born 4th February, 1882 at Gurteen
Name: William, male
Father: James Brophill, Gurteen
Mother: Anne Brophill, formerlyKelly
Rank or Profession of Father: Shoemaker
Informant: Betty Shearan(her mark 'x'), midwife present at birth. Her address Gurteen
Registered: 22nd February, 1882
Registrar: Henry White
Baptism:
Date of Baptism: 1st February, 1882
Parish/District: Killeigh (modern spelling) Co. Offaly(formerly King's)
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: James Brophill
Mother: A. Kelly
As you can see, there may be an error in the exact date of baptism as his date of birth was recorded as 4th Feb.
I noticed that his eldest son was called James, possibly after his father if this is the right William The surname 'Brophill' (Brophil) was and still is a quite rare surname in Ireland. I hope this is of some help to you and that it fills in a few pieces in the giant jigsaw.
Best wishes,
Mary
