St. Jame’s Roman Catholic Parish,
Dublin City,
Co. Dublin,
Ireland.
The parish records for St. Jame’s Roman Catholic parish, Dublin City begin on 25th September, 1752. There are a number of registers for this parish and many of them are poorly legible. Large numbers of entries are out of chronological order.
I was looking for one particular surname in 1856 and listed below are 192 entries for the first six months of that year. All spellings are as I read them. Question marks indicate those words or letters I had a problem with when reading. The register at this point is in English and a place name is given for most children.
Wm.=Wiliam ; Cath.\Cathr.=Catherine ; Mich./Michl=Michael ; Christr.=Christopher ; Patk.=Patrick ; Margt.=Margaret ; Mathw.=Matthew ;
I have left the entries in order of transcribing and have done nothing to sort the surnames out.
