Hi, we will be traveling to Ireland in September and hope to stop at Whitechurch Co Cork, where my husbands mother's father's line came from.  How can I find out if there are any Walls buried in Whitechurch cemetery? My husband's  gg grandfather was Patrick Wall born 14 Mar 1817 (he died in Boston)

Patrick's father was Michael Wall born 11 Dec 1791 and his mother was Mary Coleman born @1793

Michael's parents were Michael Wall b. @1770 and Mary Finn b. @1768

Many thanks!

    If you have not done so already, please complete this form regarding your trip to Ireland   https://www.irelandxo.com/meet-and-greet

    The RC baptismal records for Blarney/Whitechurch  parish start in 1821. There is a gap in records for part of 1826. Marriage records are available from 1778 to March 2 1813 and then pickup in February 1821. 

    You may have these records but on the subscription site Roots Ireland, I located the marriage record for Michael Wall and Mary Coleman on February 4 1813. I located three baptismal records for Catherine 1821 Bridget 1829 John 1832.

    I checked the Find a Grave site for Whitechurch cemetery which is only partially transcribed but there were no Wall records.  https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2463006/whitechurch-cemetery

  • Chris,

    Perhaps you might send a message to the Whitechurch FB page:

    Perhaps someone could point you to whoever  holds burial records for the local cemeteries.

    The parish is called Blarney and the main church is the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Blarney. https://cloynediocese.ie/parish-blarney/

    There are two subordinate churches: St. Patrick Whitechurch and St. Mary's Waterloo.

    In 1837, there was a chapel in Blarney village and likely that is where the baptisms were held.
