I believe I found the parents of a relative baptized in Rathvilley. A Joseph Doolin, parents listed as traveling merchants John and Margt (presume Margaret). Joseph was baptized on May 8, 1929. Same parent names are also listed as having baptized a Pat Doolin in Tinryland on Aug 22, 1841. Would like to confirm it is the same John/Margt. I believe Joseph is the first Doolin in my line that came to the US although our surname is spelled Doolan. Would appreciate any info, guidance, etc. I'm attaching the picture of the baptism record we found.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Joseph is the only baptism I can see for a couple John Doolin and Margaret Pine. There are some other baptisms for children a John Doolin and Margaret (surname not recorded) but the place of baptism differs for all of them so it would be difficult to know for sure that they are the same family, especially as there is little by way of corroborating evidence like a father's occupation to cross check. Perhaps if you search for a marriage record for any other suspected children they might give an indication from info recorded if they are connected.
