Rathkyran(Rathkieran) & Mooncoin, Roman Catholic Parish Register

Index to Names of Children baptised 1816 & 1817

Note on the front of this parish register:

Parish Register of Rathkyran & Mooncoin
Commencing Feb 10th 1816
Being the year which the Rev. Nicholas Carroll was removed from Ballyragget to that of Rathkyran.

It may be that this was later called the parish register of Carrigeen and Mooncoin as listed in Grenham’s ‘Tracing your Irish Ancestor’s’, however, the first set of baptismal entries cover Rathkyran according to the note on the first page. Grenham gives the wrong film reference for this set of parish registers.

My comment on this film
Children’s names in columns on side of page. Town-land named
Difficult to read the main entries in places and pages have not been filmed in order. Months are mixed up and some pages have been filmed twice. Generally though, the entries are legible

The village of Mooncoin and areas around it belong to the Civil Parish of Pollrone

The townlands of Pollrone Civil Parish are to be found on Kilkenny Ordnance Survey Maps Sheet No. 42.
