Link: Bicentenary of Handel's Messiah 1742 - 1942

Have any RootsChatters got ancestors who might have sung in either the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral or the Choir of St Patrick's Cathedral  when the first performance of Handel's Messiah took place in the New Musick-Hall, Fishamble Street, just to the north-east of Christ Church Cathedral?. Click here to see an article about the Choir as well as the names of the Gentleman of the Choirs in 1742 and 1942.
