Hope that you are still logged on

Abbeyknockmoy and Killimordaly are a great distance apart when it comes to having genealogical connections

I have a 4x grandfather Michael Rabbitt who, as listed on his army discharge papers was born 1825 in the parish of Killimore Daly in the town of Loughrea.

I have found a baptism record for a Michael Rabbit (1825) in the parish of Abbeyknockmoy in the town of Loughrea.

Killimore Daly & Abbeyknockmoy are relatively close on the maps I've found and it seems as though the juristiction of parishes changed/merged over time.

Would I be clutching at straws to think the baptism record is my man?

Any info on parishes etc. would be of great help!
