There is no record of Tip ever having been baptized, or of the oldest son, George, born 1860. However George married Shamus's daughter Grace, so he probably was baptized then. No record of Charles being baptized.
These children of Tip's were baptized in 2 batches - the three youngest w/ the baby Ann, & the 3 eldest 3 months later. How about Minnie, who was born 2 years after this?
