HI All, I am researching my Grandfather who was born in the said Union Workhouse, I have recently learned there was a church on the grounds where children left there would have been baptised and I see it closed in 2015 at that time named as St James Church and was run by an order of Catholic nuns but I cant seem to find out what its name would have been in the 1890's, someone suggested to be it could have been St Kevin's then but there was already a St Kevin's Church in Dublins south city at that time and it wasn't on the workhouse site. Has anyone ever come across information on it in their searches please? I am trying to track down the records for the church back then I have contacted the nearest church and looked on all the sites carrying Catholic records to no avail but knowing for sure what the church was called might help, thanks
