County Carlow, Roman Catholic Parish Records Ireland Baptismal and Marriage parish record index Irish Parish register copies/films held by the Society of Genealogists in
London NLI = National Library of Ireland. LDS = Latter Day Saints Library Roman Catholic parishes did not necessarily have the same name as the civil parish that they were part of - check out the descriptions for civil parishes written by Lewis in 1837 - in his topographical dictionary he names the districts that made up each Roman Catholic parish for each civil parish and the place or places that the churches or chapels were in each district. Lewis Carlow Index Parish records do not all contain the same information - some list only the names of those directly involved in the event - some list the townlands or addresses of these people - some marriage records will list the names of the parents of those being married and the towland that they came from - while, then there are parish records that list only the names of the people inivolved in the event giving no indcation as to where they lived. Where anything is known as to the state of the film - i.e. whether the script is eay to read, the ink faded, the entries clearly defined, then this information is listd on these pages - it will be added to as time goes by. Some indication is also give as to the information contained on the film, however, this can only be taken to refer to the time frame that the extracts cover as different Priests changed the format of their entries. Please note, that while it may be very exciting to discover that records exist for the parish you are interested in, continuously from the mid-1700's to 1880 - do not place too much emphasis on that fact, records that are so old tend to be in bad condition, sometimes so faded as to be illegible. Unfortunately, the same, unfortunately can also be said for some records that were created in the mid-1800's. Diocese
