[akf]

Wondered if you can help .Have just visited Athy but found that most of the places I needed to visit for information were closed on Monday ie the parish records office of St Michaels and the Library .I am looking for information on the family of Mary Fleming --married name Tyrell --who died aged 26 in 1923 She had a son called James who married a nancy allcock She had a couple of sisters but do not know their names .
Another query does St Vincents hospital have records of all births there especially if the baby died soon after birth  or would that be in the parish records as well Hopefully you can help ,Thank you

Hi There, firstly I did'nt know myself that the parish office closed on Monday but then that does'nt surprise me, there is just one woman there that runs it and already the opening hours have been cut to mornings only. 
The only thing I can do are look at the burial records which are are the town council offices here in the town for you and see if your rellies are buried here.
As for St Vincents Hospital they would have no records at all as when the nuns left they (so I have been told) threw out a lot of old records including the burials in the paupers graveyard across the road from the hospital ! why dont ask me ! so the births/Deaths/Marraiges, would be searchable only at the records office in Lombard Street in Dublin or by applying by post to the head offices address can be found on http://www.groireland.ie/ .
A copy of the records for St Michaels can be found at the library in Newbridge town. Hope some of this helps and I will have a look at the burial records for you tomorrow , regards Damsel

Is it worth me writing to the parish office do you think she may help if I offer a donation to the church.Thanks for your help

Hi, You could write it would seem if you are not able to get to the records office in Dublin it would be your only way , they do charge for a seach I think it's about €10 and obviously extra for any certs I have another lady waiting now at the moment for informaton from her, although she has paid her already it's been over two months promised out !!, I will try to get to look at the burial records for you before the the weekend, she will also only issue certs that are over a hundred years old regards Damsel

Hi Pam, do you know if this family were from Athy? or just Kildare? if just Kildare then you would be best to post a request on the Kildare board and you might have some luck as the only thing I can check for you here are burial records, hope this helps? Damsel

Hiya yes it should be here in Athy the cemetry records are held at the town council offices and anyone can ask to look at them, I would think that's the case for most of the towns in KIldare, regards Damsel
