ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF KILLMACDUAGH & KILFENORA, 1836

PARISH PRIESTS, CURATES, PARISHES, POST TOWNS AND COUNTIES


One thing which people do not realise is that the religious parish was not a fixed entity, that is to say that the parishes which existed in 1836 may not have existed in later years and may not be parishes today. The parish or the size of a parish all depended on a number of factors, the first being the size of the population, the second and I guess the most important being whether the Diocese had enough Priests. The size of a parish depended on the Bishop, his management of the area that he was in charge of, so, if the number of people in one parish increased and the number of people in the next door parish decreased, then the Bishop would assign townlands from the larger parish to the smaller parish. The parishes which are not listed in the 1931 directory are marked with **

In some cases Roman Catholic parish names are abbreviated in the 1836 'Complete Catholic Registry and Almanack' so I have compared the names of Roman Catholic parishes listed in 'Thom's Directory of Ireland, 1931' and made suggestions as to the probable full Roman Catholic parish name in 1836. in some cases, where no similar R.C. parish name is found in the 1931 directory I have suggested names from the 1851 Townlands Directory of Ireland.

The first table gives the name of the Parish Priest or P.P., the name of each curate (c.C.) in his parish, and the name of the Roman Catholic Parish. The second table lists the name of the Roman Catholic Parish, the name of the closest 'post town' and the name of the county that the closest 'post town' is in so long as there is not a town of that name in more than one of the counties associated with this Archdiocese
