Cosgrove Church Registers
A set of early Cosgrove birth years were found from Napier's casebooks, accurate to + or - one year. These people may not have been born in Cosgrove, but they were living in Cosgrove between 1590 and 1630.
They were all born before 1621, but church baptismal records from that period have been lost. Click here
