The Tithe Applotment records for the civil parish of Ardea in 1825 show a Matthew Church of Achregare (townland of Acragar?).

What do you think?

 I found in records that I have collated of 'The parish of Coolbanagher - in Co. Laois' and thought that I remembered the surname 'Church'.  I have found a record of a baptism of a John Church

2nd June 1846         Father John   Church   Mother Eliza      Ballycollenbeg      by Rev. R. Tagert - Curate

Not sure why there is also the same names recorded on 5th April 1846

ARDREA is recorded as

COOLBENGER, v. COOLBANAGHER.

''ARDEA or BALLYCOWLAN, in the Barony of Portnehinch, QUEEN'S
COUNTY, and Province of Leinster: a R., being one of the parishes which con-
stitute the Union of Coolbanagher. ''
 TOPOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY
IRELAND.

and

''ARDREA, Queen's co., Leinster, I.
P. T. Emo (44) m.
Pop. included with Coolbanagher.
A parish in the barony of Portnehinch. The living is a rectory and vicarage, value in K. B. 10f. 3*. lOJrf. sterling, forming part of the union of Coolbanagher, in the diocese of Kildare, and archdiocese of Dublin.''

Hope this may of some help,
