Am new to site and don't really know the rules re posting scanned copies of records.
I have some scanned records from St Michaels RC Church Athy and from Allen Parish that I would like to post. Most records are of the Stakem/Stanley and the O'Keane/Kane/Dugan family however there are other names on pages that refer to marriages/baptisms that might be of interest to others.
I see that you can attach a photo or image on this message page but am not sure if it applies to what I have and I do have more than 4 I believe....
Is there another section to this area where I would attach them or is it aright to do it here?
Also my G-g-g-grandfather Denis Stakem died in Athy in July of 1880 at the workhouse . Could someone tell me if the workhouse had its own burial ground or would he have been buried in St Michaels Cemetery? When I contacted St Michaels years ago I was not told of any burials in the Cemetery.
It took me years to find where in Ireland that my G-grandmothers parents came from and more years to prove it all out so I know how hard it is to find out where to go in Ireland to get records and would just like to make it abit easier for someone else to find info if what I have pertains to what they know about where theirs came from.
Thank you

I can't answer you question I'm afraid but am just wondering if you scanned the records yourself as I am going back to Ireland in March and have relies from athy who were baptised at St.Michael's and it would be great if I could scan the records as well.
Thanks

Hi
Yes some were scanned but I didn't do them .... they were sent to me by St Mikes in Athy years ago however I did scan all the papers they sent to me and share them when I can as there might be someone in them that another might reconize as their people. Its not good to sit on info that others might be able to use. Hence me wanting to post them to website if possible
I have a page of marriages that start with Smyth Catherine to a Martin Miles in 1880 down to a Richard Strong to a Bridget Henry in 1854 There are 8 marriages that occured in the 1700's on this page St Mikes sent me. Thats going back far for Catholic Parish Records in Ireland I have been given to understand.
I can say that St Mikes was great to deal with when I contacted them they went out of their way to give me as much info as they possibly could re my surnames So you shouldn't have any problems getting any info from them however I don't think they will let you scan the records rather they would do that one for you. Elaine Foley [the secretary] was very gracious and prompt in replying to my letters. I have nothing but good words for Elaine and St Michaels Church there in Athy.
I hope you have a great trip and you find what you seek in Athy :)

Hi Rory
No I am sorry there are no Talbot or Turbetts in St Mikes, Athy Marriage records nor are they in the page from Allen Parish Marriage records.

Hi Sharon, yes the workhouse used the cemetry across the road and there are a lot of paupers graves there but as far as I have been told all of the records for this were destroyed by the Nuns when they left Athy but I will see if I can find out for you, most of the graves are marked just with a small cross I think i have some photos somehwere if I come across them I will post them for you, regards Damsel

Hi
Thank you very much for looking for me. I appriciate it alot.
Sad that the Nuns would destroy the records. Guess the Church does funny things to protect people dosen't it?
I don't think that there would be much Stakum + its 40+ spellings there in Athy so anything will be appriciated. There were only 2 Stakums in Athy period in St Mikes records... Denis and wife Bridget Stanley and Matthew and wife Judith Bermingham [who emigrated to US in 1854 with children and poof the faries got them all almost in the US.] Oh there was a Alice Stakum who back in 1754 married a Derby Dowling and had at least 1 known child Jean in 1762.....
Kildare was not a Stakum area I have been told by a reliable Stakum researcher..... So mine are unique to the extent that you can't find much on them ..... boy thats the truth too .... bits and pieces here and there....
Will wait to hear back from you
Thanks again
Sharon
