Cork / Re: Anyone live in Midleton?

Yes, the books  are kept in The Holy Rosary.

The next turning along from Thomas Street (my grandmother lived there) is Church Lane - St. John the Baptist, built by the Brodericks (Lord Midleton). I have never seen anyone in there and the only contact I can suggest is: http://www.cork.anglican.org/help/researchingfamilyhistory.html. If you use Google Earth you can see it quite clearly.

I can have a look at the headstones if you think that may be of interest and, although it's a bit early, I can try the Parish Census for you of 1842.

Hope the attached pics are of interest.

What names are you looking for?

Thomas Street certainly does still exist and the Catholic Church is: Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary in St. Mary's Road. However, in 1875 the Rosary had not been built, there was a chapel right on the edge of town called St. John - the records for St. John's `are in the sacristy.
They should be available from Mallow Heritage Centre but I have no idea how accurate they are.  If you want more specific information I'll be happy to try and help you.

This may help you if you can get a copy through the library - it is out of print unfortunately:

D. Harvey & G. White, The Barracks: a history of Victoria/Collins Barracks, Cork, 1997

There is a graveyard in the town centre (attached to the old Church of Ireland), Ballinacurra which is perhaps 10 minutes from town, a famine graveyard outside town on the Fermoy road and yet another out on the Youghal road (I'll have to check the name of that one). If you'd like to let me have the details of the person\s you are looking for I'll see if I can help.
