	There is no death in Ireland for infant James. I would guess that he died shortly after birth. Baptised on the day after he was born suggests that he may not have been expected to live and I don't think he would have been baptised "in the church." at less than 24hrs old Rather, baptised at home by the priest from the church. There is never any distinction but I assume it was similar to Scotland. Marriages and baptisms in a church ( ie at the altar) are a 20th century convention. These sacraments were either performed at home or in the vestry

	Yes I think your right another infant death, I imagine a common occurrence back then.
