Parish records for Halls of Knocknaveagh, Munterconnaught, Cavan

[kiwi jeanie]

Hi .. although my husband is Irish (which is a little help) I am having trouble finding my way around the townlands, parishes, provinces, etc!!
The children of the family I am looking for were Church of Ireland at the 1901 and 1911 census. Their brother born 1839 who emigrated to NZ in the early 1860's is buried in the Presbyterian section and was married Church of England. He came from Knocknaveagh and the address of his siblings in the 1901/11 census is Knocknaveagh, parish of Munterconnaught, Cavan. The Archives of Church of Ireland do not include this parish in their listing of parishes in Cavan - does anyone have any idea where would I find their parish records. Also what church they may be buried in? I am going to be in Ireland in May and would love to have this information before I get there 
Many thanks in advance to anybody that takes the time to help me with this

Is this one of the census records you found?

This looks like the local Church of Ireland-

PRONI, Belfast have microfilm copies of some records from Munterconnaught C. of I. 1845-1904 (MIC/1/259), It may be that earlier records do not survive or remain in local custody.

Munterconnaught's census records from 1821 survive.

Wow that was quick!!
Yes that is the brother - his daughter Eliza Jane is the one that came to NZ
How did you find the church - is it Knocktemple? I have come across the name but have been unable to access the records - there was a link but it's been removed unfortunately - Last question how do I find it's physical address?
Thanks so much

Where did you find the church records had been online?
This site mentiones them but you have to pay for a 'report' which, I think, tells you the details of what is available but does not show the actual records.

Some resources for Munterconnaught are listed here- including 1821 census I mentioned earlier. It would be worth looking at that census (lots of details included, unlike 1831 census) if your family was in the area at the time.

Lots of local information posted here, including details from Munterconnaught R.C. Church (you'll need to be careful not to get the R.C. and C.of I mixed up)-

The site also has some maps showing the parish and townlands which might make the local geography clearer.

Ancestry have Knocktemple Old Cemetery Inscriptions, County Cavan, Ireland "The final resting-place of nearly 500 individuals, Knocktemple Old Cemetery is located in Munterconnaught Parish, Castlerahan Barony, Cavan County, Ulster Province, Ireland. This database is a listing of those persons interred there in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. Each record provides the decedent's name, date of death, and age. Additionally, some family relations are often provided along with other helpful information. For researchers of central Irish ancestors, this can be a helpful database." However, I don't think there are any Halls listed- this could just mean there is/was no headstone for the family.

Thanks Tony .. I have posted more information on the facebook page .. details are :-
parents of John Hall are William Hall and Elizabeth Strong - Stephen Strong was a witness at John's marriage in New Zealand and may be a relative. I only know of two of John's siblings - Elizabeth married Michael Bower and William who married Mary Whitley.
Many thanks

Thanks for all the help .. I am way ahead than I was yesterday .. looks like there are no familiar names in the Knocktemple Old Cemetery .. would that have been the only church in the area for Church of Ireland in the 1800's?
I went to the link for the census .. I'm not familiar with the information given there:-
1821 Census LDS Film 0597158
•Cooney, D., '1821 Census of the Parish of Munterconnaught', Breifne, v. 9, No. 35, 1998, p. 877-883
 .. will the PRONI hold the census?
