Registres choisis de décès et d’enterrement catholiques, Irlande, 1767 à 1912

Entre 1536 et 1870, l’Église d’Irlande était la religion d’État, mais la population irlandaise était essentiellement Catholique. Cette collection contient les registres des baptêmes Catholiques de 19 paroisses irlandaises.

This collection includes Catholic death and burial registers from 19 parishes in Ireland, with dates ranging from 1767 to 1992 (noninclusive; coverage will vary by parish). The details found in burial registers vary but can include:

name of the deceased
age
date of death
burial date

Although the Church of Ireland was the established state church from 1536 to 1870, Ireland’s population remained overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. According to the 1861 census, almost 78 percent of the population was Catholic; by 1891, this had risen to 89 percent. This fact makes Catholic parish registers, where available, particularly valuable sources for Irish family history, both before and after civil registration began in 1864.

Registers from the following parishes are included in this collection:

Armagh
Ballina (Kilmoremoy)
Ballinakill
Baltinglass
Canice's (Finglas and St Margaret)
Carlingford
Carlingford and Omeath
Castleconnor
Cooley
