Hi,
Re St Mary's (C of I), Limerick City
Please can anyone confirm that this is Limerick Cathedral?
If so, then I believe that the MIs have been indexed, so please, does anyone know if they are available online (or anywhere else)?
Thanks,
Kit

Straight from the horse's mouth as it were- Church or Ireland's own site:

If so, then I believe that the MIs have been indexed, so please, does anyone know if they are available online (or anywhere else)?
If you explain what MIs are then someone might be able to help.

Monumental Inscription? (we'd usually say gravestone inscription). Most COI churches would have kept a burial register which would include those buried andd not just those with a gravestone.

Hi aghadowey and hallmark,
Thank you very much for your kind replies - please forgive me! I should have written Monumental Inscriptions not MIs - it would have been clearer!
Thank you for providing me with all those links - I've had a look at the ones which concern St Mary's, but unfortunately, I cannot find anything there on the family I am researching, but it was really kind of you to try.
Thanks again,
Kit

Hi hallmark,
Thanks for your reply - I'm really trying to find any Memorial Inscriptions for the Hunt family, in St Mary's cathedral - especially a George Hunt (I know that he was a Taylor in Limerick and that his first wife died in 1807 and that he remarried in 1808 - or so I think!). I estimate that he was born about 1760, or earlier.
His family are C of I and seem to be buried in St Mary's, but I cannot find out what happened to George and his second wife - I've looked at the www.rootsireland.ie site and the Death Notices in Limerick Archives, without success.
Thanks,
Kit

I haven't put any County in, the ones starting with Li are Limerick but if you look through them some names/dates might reveal something.... worth a try.

Hi Sinann and hallmark,
Thank you so much once again for your very kind replies.
Yes, John W Hunt is the one, and although I already had the info, I really am touched that you have taken the trouble to point it out to me and try so hard to help.
My quest now is to find out what happened to George (I suspect, like you, that he lived above the shop in Mary St). I've just gone through all those links that you have given me, but unfortunately have drawn a blank. I only hope that someday, something new is put on the the Limerick Archives site, that might help me.
Thanks again, you have been BRILLIANT!
Kindest regards,
Kit

Hi hallmark,
Once again thank you for that - I've already visited the rootsireland site and done a search for George's burial, without success, so I assume that if I paid St Mary's to do a search, then that would also be fruitless, so, at the moment, I'm not proceeding down that route - but it is something to think of in future. I'd just love to know what happened to him, but as you say, I'll probably never find out!
Thanks again for all your tremendous help, I really do appreciate all your (and the other Rootschatters) kindness,
Kit
