St Nicholas Without - Dublin

[Suzie_Australia]

Hi all,

I'm new to be venturing into Dublin on my research trail but have found a hint that may be worth pursuing.

On www.irishgenealogy.ie  I have found two burial records for St Nicholas Without.  Details as follows:

1.  Christopher Behan of Francis Street on 23 December 1835 Age 64
2.  Ann Behan of Plunket Street on 25 January 1837 Age 74

All other details i.e. date of death and occupation are Not Recorded.

So where do I go from here.  I've done some reading about "St Nicholas Without" - all seems very complicated to me.  Can't find anything on familysearch.org and general "google" searches.

Haven't come across a cemetery as such other than a place called "Cabbage Garden"??

My aim here is to find out if the two persons above were husband and wife and if the wife's maiden name was "Dee".

Any guidance and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards to all

The parish these burials are registered in is the Church of Ireland parish of St. Nicholas without. This was a small parish and the church was St. Luke's, in the Coombe. The parish was united with the nearby parish of St. Luke's in 1861.

The church was closed about 1975 and is now derelict. The 'without' refers to the parish outside the old city walls - there was also a parish named St. Nicholas within. I think the cemetery adjacent to the church, or at least part of it, has been lost due to development.

Are you descended from Christopher or Anne - do you have any of their children's names and dates birth ?

Thank you shanew147 for your interest in my topic.

Dublin is a long shot for this family as I believe they originated in Tipperary, but who knows whether they  moved or not. 

Christopher Bayhen (also various spellings) and his wife Anne Dee had a daughter Anastasia born either 1802 or 1803 in Tipperary.  I believe they came from Clonoulty in Tipperary as on there headstone at the Melbourne General Cemetery this is quoted.

Anastasia married William Smithwick around 1822/1826 but unable to locate a marriage.

I was just on a hunch that maybe Christopher and Anne may have moved to Dublin.

Thank you for your response.

Hi Suzie, I noticed that you mention Francis Street Dublin! Forgive me if I am on wrong end of the stick- but St Nicholas of Myra is on that street. They are quite good there for look-up's  when I visited Dublin last year. Unfortuntly for me I was looking for info frm the sixties and they said they could not help, as people could still be alive. Good Luck with your research.
