Baptism John Brooks c. 1795 St Catherine's C of I, Dublin

[Graham Whitehead]

Thanks to the on-line parish records of irishgenealogy.i.e it now appears that what I misconstrued as being an RC family of BROOKS were originally Church of Ireland.  There is a baptism for a Joseph Brooks 1804, son of Richard and Elinor Brooks in St Catherine's C of I.  This looks like a sibling to my John Brooks = Mary Ann Flood (an R.C.) so far as I know in Dublin.  Of course all records are not yet on-line.  Should anyone out there have access to the original records of St Catherine I would be delighted if they could check for me to see if John Brooks' Baptism is there.   John and Mary Ann (weavers) left Dublin after the failure of the silk weaving for Coventry another weaving town.
I find another possible sibling in Mary Anne Brooks of Pimlico, baptised in S. Catherine C of I 18 Oct 1795 with the right parents.  It also seems by 1798 they had Catherine of Weaver's Square, and Joseph, of Cork St  bap 1804
all of them at St Catherine's.  Any help to further my Irish roots I would appreciate very much indeed, and thanks to those who have assisted me in the past on Rootschat. Special thanks to Noel (Gormon genealogy) for his aiding me in getting thus far!
