Hi, my ancestor (3x Gt Grandfather) William BOYLE was married in the Church of Ireland Parish of Knockbride in 1852. I would like some more information if that is possible please from the Parish records. I live in New Zealand so a trip to the church is quite a distance. Any information gratefully received. Thankyou, Brian Laing

  • Hi

    Thank you for your message.

     

    Church of Ireland parish registers for the period up to 1870-are public records. Registers are available for about one third of the parishes, however many were destroyed in the Public Records Office in Dublin in 1922. Most are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. A list of all surviving registers is available in the National Archives. http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.  The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf

    You might try contacting the local church offices for further assistance.
