Hi, would someone have access to this record?. perhaps a long shot but I am hoping to determine if this is a son of my GGG grandfather Samuel Dixon and his wife Sarah Wallace. Samuel was a weaver from Kilmore, Mayo originally who joined the 47th Regiment of Foot in 1813. They were Church of England.
Name:James Dixon
Gender:Male
Baptism Date:12 Jan 1812
Baptism Place:Stradbally With Clonea and Ballylanheen, Waterford, Ireland
Father:Saml. Dixon
FHL Film Number:990092
Many thanks...

Hi Lisa,
Subscription site www.rootsireland.ie has a transcription of the baptism of James Dixon. His mother's name is recorded as "Dixon".
The church record is not on the web. You will need to contact the parish for further information.
Regards,
McCoy

Thanks for the attachments McCoy. Very helpful! I note there is no contact information for the Stradbally with Clonea and Ballylanheen, Waterford parish records.
The List refers only to Roots Ireland which you indicate does not contain the full record.
Is there a physical address I could contact for baptismal records.

Dear Lisa,
The original register is in the Cotton Library in Lismore Cathedral. It covers baptisms and burials between 1798 and 1861, and marriages between 1798 and 1845. The entry reads: "1812 Jany 12th James son to Sam[ue]l & [blank] Dixon, Mayo Militia"
To contact the Cotton Library, email: cottonlibrarylismore@outlook.ie
