Catholic Church Parish Records Waterford Library

[Paul Peter]

Hi

Waterford City Library in Lady Lane have now got copies of Catholic church records for Waterford City and County on microfilm. Most date from around 1800 until about 1880. I was able to find my great great grandfather's baptism record for 1836 in Kilrossanty and so get the names of my great great great grandparents.
They mainly have baptism and some marriages.

The three areas I looked at were:
Kilrossanty
Baptism records 4th July 1822 until 4th August 1858 and 9th January 1859 to 27th December 1880.
Marriage records from 16th January 1859 to 8th September 1880

Abbeyside
Baptism records 06th July 1828 to 26th March 1876 and 21st March 1842 to 29th December 1880
Marriage records 24th July 1828 to 6th February 1842 and 26th May 1842 to 18th November 1880

Dungarvan
Baptism
17th February 1787 to 27th April 1798
03rd March 1811 to 17th May 1823
27th July 1823 to 30th April 1830
01st May 1830 to 26th July 1877
01st September 1877 to 28th December 1828
Marriages
14th May 1809 to 29th November 1828
08th January 1829 to 01st September 1877
24th September 1877 to 12th November 1880.

There are a few weeks missing here and there.  Some are difficult to read as they are faded and in Latin but most are fairly good.

I can't promise that I will be able to check details for anyone but if you want me to find out what records they have for a particular church in Waterford I can do that

Thanks Paul for putting that info up. I was hoping to re-visit Waterford City & the library later this month, but will have to leave it now till the New Year.

Like Lis, My Grandparents and family are all buried in St Marys Ballygunner, but have yet to find out where any of them were married, as all their history is in Waterford City.

Regards, Mike.

Hi Mike and Liz

I will check next time I am down there and see if they have records for St Mary's. Do you know what area of Waterford they lived in as that will indicate the church were they may have been baptised, married or had the funeral , some people used other churches but were buried in St Mary's graveyard. As I said the death records are scarce.

My Gr-Grandparent's and their Family's were born and grew up in Waterford City.

John Walsh ran a Plumbing business from 64/65 John Street.

William O'Neill and Family, also ran a business, as a basket maker at 33 Michael Street.

John married a Mary Caufield, around 1882, but unsure where !!

William married Anastasia Howell, Jan qtr 1885, again unsure as to what Church.

All were Roman Catholic.

Thanks again

Hi
Have you had any experience of St Anne's church at Fews, Kilmacthomas? I'm looking for Margaret Lannon born 1866 or her father John, or Peter Gallagher whom she married at Fews in 1874. I'm coming to Waterford next month to look.
Many thanks.
