CLONTARF BMD records

[MAD87]

I’m very disappointed that the Clontarf records are not among the microfilms released by the NLI. I’ve been told however that there is a transcription of Clontarf’s registers but I’ve yet to find any reference to such document.

Is there any way of checking pre-1800 records for that parish? RC mainly but I’d also like to check the COI records just in case.

Very grateful for any pointers!

I presume you mean Parish Records?
Civil Registration, and Birth Marriage & Death records, came to Ireland much later.

The National Library says:
An index to baptisms and marriages from 1771 is available at Roots Ireland. In 1879 Clontarf, Killester, Coolock, Raheny separated from Fairview, Artane, Glasnevin and Santry to form the parishes of Clontarf and Fairview respectively.

So, presumably before 1879 you need to look at Fairview?

Yes, I mean church records. I know civil registration didn’t come in until 1864 or thereabouts. I’ve been to all the genealogy sites, free and paying….I just want to check for myself, awkward cuss that I am.

Not yet prepared to admit defeat, even though my head is raw and bleeding from hitting the brick wall.

You don't seem to have followed through the links about Clontarf records on NLI page for further information. One of the links takes you to this page

Having lived in Clontarf for years, frequented Harry Byrne's pub etc... can't thing of anywhere where mining was carried out around there, the nearest I can think of is some small mines on Howth Head that I heard existed in times past.
