Can anyone help, please-Smith Family-Dublin

Hi there,

Can you elaborate on what information your professional researcher has found for you as I don't want to duplicate what you already have !

Is this the son of Simon and Hannah that you are referring to ?

Sorry,

I have just seen that Shane has already given you considerable help with this family on another thread.

You will need to ask the moderators to link these two threads.

my gggrandfather was born in the 1820's in the parish of St Lukes-Dublin - Church of Ireland denomination. I can only presume that both Simon and Hannah did also live in this parish.  However to this day this old church has fallen into disrepair, so I don't where to start to look for marriage and death records. Any ideas would be most helpful.         
.....

The records for St. Luke's CofI are available on the IrishGenealogy website, but the problem is that there's no way to know if this couple originated in this parish or moved there from somewhere else - e.g. another part of the city, county or even another part of Ireland. 

The parish records go back to the early 1700s, and all seem to be included on the IrishGenealogy website. There are a couple of Simon Smith marriages in the parish prior to the baptism of James, but none with wife's name Hannah.

If that's the baptism in question then there might be a problem with the dates - there's no year mentioned on the page which includes that baptism for James, but the previous page mentions what looks like the year 1746...

I've double checked the image for that baptism mentioned above (bapt. James Smith), and the adjacent pages, and am as certain as I can be that the date of Baptism for this James Smith was 3rd August 1745.

The pages are filmed in reverse order, but the following page chronologically begins with January 1746. The previous pages also include dates from the 1740s - see :

see mid June - Dec 1745   (acrobat reader file - pdf)
      Jan. 1746 - mid Apr

The two columns on the page have entries for the middle of June through to December 1745 and each column is signed at the end by the minister  'Theo. Brocas'. A Thoephilus Brocas was minster at the parish from 1745 to 1770. (src: Clergy of Dublin & Glendalough)
