Bishops, Dublin (Completed, with thanks)

[Galium]

Is this a place, a church?

It is mentioned in this piece:
http://www.thebinnsfamily.org.uk/forum/uploads/binns-obit.pdf

 about the Binns family of Dublin as the place that William Binns married Jane Connor, but I can't find any modern reference to it.
 
Does anybody know of it?

Hi

The free and secure ‘Church Records’ section of www.irishgenealogy.ie has several Binns records, beginning in the 1600s.

There is a Jonathon Binns, age 67 of this parish (St Mark’s) buried 28 Nov 1823 - so born c. 1756.

There is also mention of a Mrs Binns ‘of Mark’s Alley’ being interred in the Vicar’s Bawn of St Patrick’s on 20 May 1795.  (St Patricks is right beside Dame Street)

Is this a place, a church?

Could it be Bishop's House ?
It may be a mis-transcription of a place.

Hi

Also on irishgenealogy.ie is the 14 Apr 1782 baptism of a Jonathon, son of Jonathon and Ellinor Binns at the Roman Catholic Pro Cathedral, Dublin. 

Do you know which religion your Binns were.

See the article below on John Binns (died 1804) and his brother Jonathon Binns who is said to have had 32 children:-

A number of similarities to your W Binns family history account of 1860.

Was this the same John Binns in "Dictionary of Irish Biography"?

His parents belonged to Anglican and Moravian churches.

Many thanks for your replies, both of you. Some interesting reading there. 

Jane Connor was a sister of my ancestor - the Connors belonged to the Moravian Church, and she and William Binns are both buried in Whitechurch Moravian Cemetery in Dublin.  I wasn't sure whether William was  a Moravian before they married, but it looks as though he would have been, so perhaps 'Bishops' refers to a Moravian establishment off some kind.

I don't know whether, in Ireland in 1818, they would have had to marry officially in the Anglican Church?

The Moravian Church was on Bishop Street.
