JUBILATE DEO (Psalm 100) O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. Be ye sure the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

As with all documents of this nature the original should be consulted to confirm that entries have been transcribed and indexed accurately. The following specific points should be borne in mind when using the transcript: Dates All dates have been standardised as follows; day in numbers, month in three letters (abbreviated as necessary), year. Legibility and Spelling In cases of doubt, the spelling of surnames has been checked against other entries in the index; variations in the spelling of the same surname have been noted. Indecipherable details are marked with a ?. Additional Information Marginal notes and comments from the Register appear in the text or as footnotes. Illiteracy Those who made a mark in the registers are indicated by an “x” after their name. Chronological Discrepancies Entries out of chronological order by more than a week or so are in italics. The Index The index lists in alphabetical order all persons who were baptised, married and buried at Kilrush over the periods covered by the surviving registers. Abbreviated Christian names have been transcribed exactly as they appear in the Register.
