St. Paul's - Arran Quay, Dublin - Graveyard?

[Alicat84]

A lot of my Dublin ancestors were part of St. Paul's parish on Arran Quay (lots of baptisms and marriages). If someone who was part of this parish was to die, where would they be buried? In otherwards did St. Pauls have a graveyard or were all parishioners sent to a nearby graveyard? It's right on the quays so I can't imagine it had it's own graveyard on the premises.

I know St. Paul's is closed now, but I don't even know where their parish records are kept now and my knowledge of Dublin graveyards is atrocious.

Thanks

St. Paul's R.C. Church on Arran Quay dates from 1816 although there was an earlier chapel behind No.11 Arran Quay in use from 1785(Wright's Guide to Dublin) which was sold and used as a warehouse for many years.
I can find no record of a parochial graveyard and can only assume that from 1829 Goldenbridge was  utilised and Glasnevin from 1832.Before that Bully's Acre was probably the nearest public cemetery but had to be closed due to congestion after the 1832 Cholera Epidemic.  Bully's Acre is in the grounds of the Royal Hospital , Kilmainham.
Grenham shows that St.Paul's records date from 1731 but I cannot trace(so far) a chapel earlier to 1785.

I'm pretty sure the Arran Quay records are in Halston Street,which is just off North King Street,so not too far from Arran Quay.Here's a link with an e-mail address,might be worth popping them a line.

Thanks Quaxer, don't know where you get all that information!

Deccam, thanks for the link. I emailed Halston St but the email "bounced", says that email is not in use However, I'll ring them tomorrow and see what the story is. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction though

Hi!  I read your post and see it was from  while back.  Did you ever find where your relatives are interned?  My 19C St. Paul Arran Quay ancestors were interned at Goldenbridge Cemetery which is in Dublin South... why?  Because it was the first Catholic cemetery in Dublin.  Seeking 19th century?  I would try here... EXCEPT that records are held by Glasnevin Cemetery Group.  Cemetery is otherwise closed to public now, and the records are in "cold storage" while Glasnevin works on another project.  Would be worth a call to inquire about availability.

This is very late to comment, but in case anyone finds it useful, all my family (the Ryans) from Paul Street and Bkackhall Place are buried in Glasnevin, starting from the 1900s and 1910s.  They are on the old side of the road, not the side where burials take place now.  My mother visited the office last year and they were extremely helpful, printing off grave locations and dates.

I know it has been years for this thread-but I have found a record of John Calahan marrying Mary Rodgers at St Pauls Arran Quay Dublin North on 29 Jun 1873.  Other than that record found on Family Search I'm at a loss.  They are living in USA in 1900 but nothing in between.  I'm hoping the old records of the church will help-where should I look for those?  Its seems several locations were listed.  TIA
