Irish in Spain (XIII): Two C18th O'Brien Baptisms in La Coruña

At La Coruña's parish of San Jorge on 4 May 1745, the baptism of Elena Mónica María Luisa O'Brien took place. Her parents were Don Luís O'Brien and his wife Doña María Geraldino. The infant's godparents were Don Pedro Estafort and Doña Elena Estafort, (Stafford, I presume) both unmarried and residents of La Coruña's parish of San Nicolás.

This couple also had at least one more child baptised at the same church: a daughter, María Tomasa Catalina, christened on 7 March 1748. Her godparent was one Don Tomás Geynan, resident of El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz).
