Missing RC Baptism - 1900 - Dublin (North City)

[HugoBeauchamp]

Looking for suggestions to see which RC parish might hold a record of the baptism of one of my father's cousins who was born in November 1900.  The family lived on Upper Dorset Street and the other child born nearly two years earlier, while the family were still in Dorset St, was baptised at the Pro-Cathedral. I have also enquired at other parishes - Aughrim St, Berkeley Rd and St Michan's/St Paul's Arran Quay - to see if their registers might have this illusive entry but without success.

Edit - Nothing on RootsIreland either

Anyone have any thoughts/ideas please?

Have you found the civil birth record?  I recently discovered that a relative who I believed was born in Kildare, where she lived all her life and where her siblings were born, was actually born in Dublin.

How about St Agatha? N William St. (used to be part of Pro-Cathedral, but constituted a parish in 1860s or so.

I think SeanMcDermott St was part of Pro-Cathedral at that time.

HugoBeauchamp,  have you  tried  looking  in  this  web site ....

http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

It  has lots of Dublin Births,  Deaths and  Marriages. Copy the link into  your  address bar  and when the page  opens  click on the  tab  marked " Church Records"

hugo the 1901 census lthe answer available on line at national archives may give the answer

Thanks for all the suggestions, I should have included a bit more info on where I have looked for information on the family.

They appear on both the 191 & 1911 census.
Both web sites, Irish Genealogy & Roots Ireland, have been searched in multiple ways.
I also have the Birth Certificate - no name for the child was inserted on the birth certificate at  the time that the birth was registered by a person from the Rotunda who was 'present at the birth'.

I think the problem arises, as far as the online information is concerned, is that the 'cut-off' dates for the filming of those RC Baptism Registers that were filmed is, exactly that!

The churches referred to in my initial post can be ruled out because I have already been in touch with them and had a 'not found report' from each of them as far as the date & the parents are concerned. So it looks as if it will need to be a call/email to other likely suspects where the filming dates were before the birth in 1900 - St Agatha looks as if it might be a possibility - thanks eadaoin.

hugo another church you may like to try is Dominic street. dominic street itself runs between uppr dorset st. and parnel st. good luck if i think of anything else i'll post it

[HugoBeauchamp]

Graham thanks for that.
As I understand it from St Saviour's website they were not constituted as a parish until 1974.
(The picture on Google Streetview seems rather older than 1974?)
Having had a trawl through various websites looking for likely suspects, I contacted St Agathas, N. William St (not too far from where the family was living in Dorset St) and asked if they would have a look at their register and let me know.

That's correct - the church has been there since 1861,according to the "dominicans.ie" website, but it only became a parish in 1970s. I think the Dominican friars have acted as Parish clergy since then.
