Title: Church records in Southern Ireland
Post by: geraldine77 on Tuesday 10 May 16 04:22 BST (UK)

Can anyone tell me where to find protestant church records in Tipperary before 1850? I am researching Abraham, Harte, Giles and Nicholson. They all came from Roscrae area.

The good news is that records for Roscrae do exist from 1784 to 1875.
The not-so-good news is that they are on microfilm viewable in the National Archive of Ireland and, as far as I know, have not yet been transcribed.

This link gives a list (last updated July 2015) of what Anglican records exist:

Hope this helps (at least a little bit!)

Church of Ireland is only one of the Protestant churches- there are also Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregationalist, etc. but most church records except C. of I. and Catholic will probably not be online.

You can always ask the NA of Ireland for a list of researchers. Paying for a 30 - 60 minute lookup will be a lot cheaper than taking out a subscription and then waiting years for them to get around to transcribing the church you are interested in.

You will need one that takes PayPal.
