History of Clonmel
« on: Sunday 08 February 09 20:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi there

Can anyone point me in the direction of any available history, books and/or websites on the garrison town of Clonmel?  Period I am looking for would be 1840-1880...roughly.

Can't seem to find much when I google.

Thanks

Two books on Clonmel - Burke WP History of Clonmel published 1907 reprint 1983 but it seems to be out of print now. Also Clonmel 1840-1900 Anatomy of an Irish Town by Sean O Donnell which also seems to be out of print. May be got in a library or used bookshop.

Is there any chance that you go to St Peters & St Pauls, and look up baptisms for me?

Also, if you could find out what church was known as "Scot's Church" St Mary's, Clonmel....would that have been the Protestant Church?
