Church location of Catholic Parish of Clogheen 1800-1850
« on: Wednesday 11 March 20 14:34 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the location of the church and cemetery that was in use during the period 1800-1860 for the Catholic Parish of Clogheen. From what I have seen online, the churches of Our lady of the Assumption and St. Mary's all date from after this time period.

Research seems to indicate that my 2X great grandfather, John Gavin was baptized in the parish of Clogheen 20 April 1834; a younger sister, Mary Gavin, was baptized 26 May 1837. Father, William Gavin, was an "agricultural labourer" and their mother was Ellen Roach. Family lore has it that the family lived in the townland of Burncourt. I have, to date, no other information about other family members.

Thanks for your help!

Just in case you don’t have it there was a James born 1831 4th December

It is quite feint and towards the bottom of the page

You've been online since stuff was posted for you without response.

The best advice would be to go through Registers, get dates correct etc so thread doesn't go sideways with incorrect names/dates being posted by people trying to help.

Also respond to if you have checked g/stones and if you found them or not.

Looking at the 1837 to 1842 map there is one RC church in the village of Burncourt on the North side of the street on the East end.
http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html
The 1888 to 1913 map names St.Mary's in the same spot.
Don't know if there is an older map.
I don't see a ruined or disused church in the area, doesn't mean it's not there though
Likely St.Mary's was built on the same spot as an earlier church.
