Our Lady of Lourdes was build 1920 to 1939

Further down it says-

A tall Gothic Roman Catholic Church built 1925 to designs by J.J. McDonnell (of Belfast), aligned east-west, and located to the south side of Moneyglass Road, near crossroads with Ballymatoskerty Road.

The will of William Mc Mullan is recorded in the PRONI Wills Calendar No. 999 under the surname spelt McMullin.  It lists all the children except Thomas.  It also names a Patrick that I have been unable to find any other record for.  Unless Thomas and Patrick are the same person using a second or pet name.

Apologies I’m not making this very clear.  My confusion is regarding the name of the Chapel in Moneyglass. The civil records for the marriage of Thomas McMullan (1915) record the chapel as St Mary’s Moneyglass when in fact the current name is Our Lady of Lourdes, Moneyglass.  Was there a name change?


I live near Moneyglass.  The name St Mary’s doesn’t mean anything to me but there has only ever been one functioning chapel at Moneyglass. The previous chapel’s foundations are visible in the graveyard. I note that a John Nolan was PP at St Mary’s in 1915. The Moneyglass website mentions a John O’Nolan as PP in the 1920s when the foundations for the new chapel were laid. Presumably the same man.

I think you can probably safely assume your ancestor was married in the now demolished chapel, in the graveyard of the modern Our Lady of Lourdes.

I checked PRONI Historical Maps, (free to view on line).  The OSNI Historical Third Edition (1900-1907) gives the name of the original chapel as St. Mary’s R.C. Chapel.  The foundations of the original Chapel of St. Mary’s are still visible in the graveyard. Hopefully a photograph or illustration of St. Mary’s the original  Chapel will turn up.
