There is a brass plate in St Aidan’s Cathedral, Enniscorthy inscribed:
‘In memory of Rev W.B.Quin, C.S.Sp. who died Feb 2nd 1890’. A second brass plate gives details of John Quinn died Jan 18th 1882 and of Sarah his wife who died October 24th 1880. The baptismal register of St Aidan’s lists the baptism of a William to John Quinn and Sally Askins on 21/1/1858. Marriage register shows them married on Feb 12th 1850. I have come across another plate which says he was ordained on October 18th 1883.
I am unable to find William’s death in Irish records so he may have died overseas. He is not mentioned in Fr Gahan’s book the Secular Priests of the Diocese of Ferns.
I am searching for details of where William was ordained, where he died and where he is buried.
Thanks
