    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I searched on Roots Ireland and could not come up with a Rose Madden baptismal record with a father Charles and mother with surname Murphy. In fact, there were no Madden baptismal records in Cavan with the Charles and Murphy combination.

    I do note that the Virginia/Lurgan RC parish records start in November 1821   http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0849 so if Rose was born in that parish prior to November 1821, a baptismal record will not be available.
