Church records in Southern Ireland

[geraldine77]

Can anyone tell me where to find protestant church records in Tipperary before 1850? I am researching Abraham, Harte, Giles and Nicholson. They all came from Roscrae area.

The good news is that records for Roscrae do exist from 1784 to 1875.
The not-so-good news is that they are on microfilm viewable in the National Archive of Ireland and, as far as I know, have not yet been transcribed.

This link gives a list (last updated July 2015) of what Anglican records exist:

Hope this helps (at least a little bit!)

Church of Ireland is only one of the Protestant churches- there are also Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregationalist, etc. but most church records except C. of I. and Catholic will probably not be online.

Thank you very much for the sites -looks as though we may have to subscribe to get any further

You can always ask the NA of Ireland for a list of researchers. Paying for a 30 - 60 minute lookup will be a lot cheaper than taking out a subscription and then waiting years for them to get around to transcribing the church you are interested in.

You will need one that takes PayPal.
