Bannister in Waterford

[RosemaryJoan]

Richard married in a Catholic Church in 1877.  The baptism which I bought fromRootsIreland didn't give a denomination.

They only have RC baptism records for Co. Waterford, so it has to have been RC. The transcription should show the parish and denomination. RC baptism records for Portlaw go back to 1809.

The Civil/Church of Ireland parish for Portlaw is Clonegam, and records go back to 1845.

Hooray!  We have found William Barrister (!!) living inCoolroe, Green Island in Griffiths.  Now, the next question is -  Are there Valuation Manuscript Books, so called 'cancelled books' for Co. Waterford?  These were kept up to c. 1930 in Co. Armagh.
Hopeful.

....

that's a good find... the cottages, nearly 60 of them, at Green Island seem to be for people working in the mill. The landlord for them is the family that ran the mill.
