Dublin Parishes

[shanew147]

My Rooney ancestors are from North Co. Dublin - near to Rush.. none in the City that I know of, but I have not followed the non-direct branches of that line very far yet.

Draigcoch has a post on the Dublin section (http://www.rootschat.com/links/073t/) also looking for Rooney's connections a little after this time .. possibly in the Dublin city area

Hello to everyone, regarding st thomas parish, my great grandfather who lived in north cumberland street, north dock, put on his 1911 census, st thomas as his parish, he was roman catholic. beside him was the pro catheral, and lourdes church, known then as the tin church, on gloucester street, now known as sean mcdermot street, then they moved around the corner to glorneys buildings, off gloucester street. i think the 1926 census should be put online with the 1901.my family name is ( lynch ) any info would be very helpful, espically photos of glorneys buildings, tony.   email (*)

Just to say that I contacted the Pro-Cathedral and they were most helpful in my search for my Dublin family.  Still looking forward to a trip next year to trawl throught the National Library and Archives.
I'm reading Kearns 'Dublin Tenement Life' at the moment and it is very good. I recommend it if you can get a copy.

Hi,  I emailed them on the address on the website and they confirmed that they had the records I was looking for. A copy of an entry costs 6 euros.  They didn't confirm the actual event just that they had the parish records that it would be in if the event took place at the Cathedral so really you have to be certain that that was where your ancestors were baptised, married or buried.
As you will have seen from an earlier post in this thread the older records can be viewed at the National Library in Dublin.  You can also use the Research pilot on familysearch.org to look for BMDs in the Registers. That is how I found most of my family. The marriages are a bit tricky as you have to search for the bride and groom separately and then cross-reference the volume and page numbers. The forms for ordering those certificates are available to download on the Irish GRO website.
Good luck

My Donnelly/Sheridan antecedents lived in tenements in Marrowbone Lane and were baptised and married in St Catherine of Alexandria church which happens to be around the corner from the closed church of St Catherine which is non-Catholic and at which my sister and I had spent considerable time imagining the lives of our ancesters.  We felt a trifle foolish when we were directed to the right place!

However, it was a truly lovely experience to be able to pray in the church where our great grandmother was baptised and married.  The Augustinian Brother who assisted us in looking up the records was wonderful as was his lay offsider.  We grew up in Bendigo Australia and this diocese was founded by Augustinian Irish priests so it was all a happy coincidence.

Which is all to say that it is always worth a try asking to see the records if they have time.  Mind you we are none the wiser as to gg grandmother's name on the Sheridan side but it was a great experience to see the original entry and to know Dad wasn't dreaming when he remembered names
 - his mother and grandmother died the same year that he turned 15 and he wasn't renowned for remembering names!!
