Hi there,
If someone was born in Athlacca, Limerick in the late 1830's what Roman Catholic church should I be looking to for records ?
Thanks

In the 1830s I would say RC parish was Atlhacca/Dromin - NLI film Pos. 2426. Extract from Lewis for Athlacca civil parish "... In the R. C. divisions the parish also forms part of the union or district of Dromin, and has a chapel. A school of about 60 boys and 20 girls is aided by the Rev. J. O'Regan, P.P...."

Ach NOOOO
I was HOPING you wouldn't say that Shane as the LDS don't have records for there.
I was hoping for BRUFF ....
Oh Well, back to the drawing board.
Thanks Anyway,
Tara

an RC chapel is shown in the village of Athlacca on the 1st Ed. OSI maps, so probably the parish church at the time - see : RC Church, Athlacca (http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,556133,634099,6,7)

....
Bruff is very close and the RC parish covered parts of Dromin civil parish, which was part of Athlacca RC parish, and next to the civil parish ... so you might get a few strays...
Lewis '37, Bruff : '.. In the R. C. divisions this parish is the head of a union or district, comprising also the parishes of Tullybracky, Grange, Meanas, Manister, and part of the parishes of Uregare, Glenogra, and Dromin; and containing three chapels, situated respectively at Bruff, Grange, and Meanas. ..'

Hiya Shane,
I'm hopping between the 2 churches, which is probably wishful thinking, but you never know I could be lucky.
Thanks a mill for your help,
Tara

Shane,
I am just cross referencing with the Irish Times .....

For the NLI it is showing as 10 years missing !
IFHF is showing that it has records for Athlacca - don't suppose you know would the same 10 years be missing there because as Murphy's Luck would have it, that's approx the years I am looking for - grrr

Hi There Maggsie
It's my friends tree that I was helping with.
Her Great Great Grandfather was James (O)Connor and was born 1838 in Athlacca.
He joined the policeforce and moved around Ireland before marrying and moving to San Francisco, USA.
Since last posting here we have found some siblings of his whom also went to San Fran.
James' parents were James (O)Connor and Helen (O) Connor (maiden name).
If you think there is a connection then I would love to know.
Thanks A Mill

Hi There
We have Bernard O'Connor 1825, Patrick O'Connor 1827, Mary A. O'Connor 1829, Ellen O'Connor 1831, Kate O'Connor 1833, Timothy O'Connor 1835, James O'Connor 1838 & Catherine O'Connor 1842.
Some of the earlier children were baptised in St. Michael's Limerick City.
Not sure if that was because they lived there prior or if it was due to another reason.
There is obviously the 12 year gap in Dromin & Athlacca records which was when some of the children were born unfortunately.

We have already bought all the records that are available for this family on IFHF.
