We are delighted to announce the addition of 924 baptisms of children born in Galway Union Workhouse between 1853 and 1922! These are most Roman Catholic, with a small number of Church of Ireland entries as well, and give an important insight into baptisms which took place outside the normal parish system in Galway in the post-Famine period up until the creation of the Free State in 1922.
