Catholic Church Parish Records Waterford Library

[Paul Peter]

I have managed to get a copy of what records the library now holds so if anyone wants the dates of the records for the parishes of Waterford let me know.

Again I am sorry I cannot look up any records for people but I have only limited time in the library each month but at least you will know what records they have if you visit Waterford or someone else can look them up for you.

Hi Peter!  Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday, had trouble with the website! 
Thanks for taking the time to look at the records for me.  I am thinking the Thomas Colbert is probably a relative, and possibly John & Johanna Shea. 
I will try out the link and see what I can find.

Do you know if the parishes themselves are fairly helpful in looking for records, if I have approximate dates?  I did find a link to the Waterford sites and may just contact someone there to do the research.   That would probably be my best bet! 
Thanks again for your help!  Good luck with your research!  Therese

I was wondering if the records in Waterford include Templemichael baptisms. I have a Martha Barrett baptised there 1839 and was wondering if there are any more siblings. I have a contact in Cobh that look in the library for me if the journey worth while.
Thanks for any help you may have.

Hi Ann,

          I will be on a cruise next May and it will be stopping at Cobh overnight,Just wondering if I could get to the records office from there- maybe hire a car. 60mls sounds do-able.

Thanks.
MM

Hi MM,
Enjoy the cruise and good hunting.
The road from Cobh to Waterford is pretty good, have driven it a few times when visiting.

I am looking for the Quinn family from Waterford City 1911 census they live house no 7 Powers Lane  Urban no 3 parish within St Johns.
Head James Quinn 46 general labourer
wife   Mary            42
dau  Johannah       22 dom serv
dau   Mollie            19   "       "
dau   Alice              17   
son  James            13
dau  Kathleen         11
son   Thomas           7
 

James Quinn married Mary Nolan 2nd Oct 1885 although their marriage cert say's he was age 21 of John St son of James and Mary Ryan  Mary Nolan was age 20 of Spring Garden Alley dau of Patrick Nolan and Bridget Murphy
the census above gives a wider age gap.
The family moved to Liverpool except for Mollie (Mary)  she stayed in Waterford do not know what happened to Johannah. 
I do not know when they moved to Liverpool  but I dont think it was very much later than the 1911 census.
I wonder if Powers Lane still exists? I would love to trace the family in Waterford.
