From Ireland Home Page >>County Clare page >>County Clare Ireland,Roman Catholic Parish Records available on microfilm NLI = National Library of Ireland. PRONI = Public Records Office of Northern Ireland LDS = Latter Day Saints Library 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 discovre 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

OF GALWAY The civil parish of Beagh or St. Anne's is located in Co. Galway - R.C. parish spreads into Co.

Galway and situated on the confines of Co. Clare. Ennistymon

Feakle (Flagmount, Killanena) Killard Comments on these registers from Joanne Mitchel : "For this parish it contains the following: Marriages
1867-1880 From what I have seen so far, the records are neatly kept in preformatted ruled and lined books which have Latin headings for each column. They give child's name, parents' names, sponsors' names and date. Some transcripts are on-line here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~msjenkins/records/clarebap.htm In combination with records from other neighbouring parishes including Kilrush, Kilmacduane and Kilmurry-Ibrickan."

Kilnoe Kilrush(St.Senan's) Joanne Mitchell Website has made the following comments re this parish register: "Whilst
the quality writing is dependent on the hand writing of
the priest in question and entries are generally quite close
together, I did not find them too hard to read, with the
exception of one section in the marriage register where
the writing was in a very poor hand. The condition of the
registers The registers cover from 1827 to 1880 for baptisms and from 1829 to 1880 for marriages. This is as far as the LDS has on film. Later dates are available elsewhere I believe. There is a gap in the records around 1832/3 and a note in the register that this was due to the cholera epidemic which hit about that time. It
is my understanding from a local source that these records
would also cover the neighbouring RC parish of Killimer
until 1854 (Killimer records start in 1859). Even past this
date up to the present time it is not uncommon, I am told,
for those living in the parish of Killimer to have their
children baptised or to be married in Kilrush, so the register
is The format used in the registers for baptisms is day of the month (month and year being noted at the top of the page or the start of each month), child's name, father's full name, mother's name and maiden surname, sponsors' name(s). After about 1837 a townland address is included, however there is a gap c1850s where addresses were omitted for a few years. The format for marriages is more variable and can contain merely the names of the couple marrying and the date or may contain details such as: "Matthew O'Neill son of John O'Neill, Killeymer and Bridget Costello, servant to Mr Michl Brew married at the priest's house in the presence of Edward Costello, John O'Neill and Anthony O'Dea" Sometimes
the fathers' names were not included or only one is stated
as in the above example. Sometimes an occupation was included
(although generally only in the earliest years of the register).
If one of the parties marrying Some websites which contain transcribed material from the Kilrush parish registers are: http://homepage.eircom.net/%7Ejohnbquigley/GenealogyPage1.htm (Also contains transcripts for the parish of Kilmacduane, Co. Clare and other resources relevant to these areas) http://wexlababe.home.att.net/table_of_contents.htm Kathryn's site has transcriptions for many parishes in Counties Clare and Limerick. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~plawrence/KilrushBapt.html This page also contains transcriptions, however I disagree with the comments at the start. At no point did I find the film faded or illegible, nor did there seem to be a gap in the records, except for the years I mentioned during the Cholera epidemic when the register wasn't kept. I have just finished transcribing all the entries for the surnames McKnight and O'Neill from the registers, but am still collating them. I am considering putting them on my own website, in which case, I'll send you a link when I'm done. LDS film 979696 also includes parts of registers for other parishes in Co. Clare" See: Killard (Doonbeg & Killard) for Joans comments on those registers St. Senan's Margaret Jenkins has some transcriptions for St. Senan's marriages on her site Newmarket
