  • Do you know what denomination your Cooke/Morrey family were ?

    The date you have is very early for Church records - Catholic Records for the LIslee area are included in the district of Abbeymahon aka LIslee or Barryroe East and baptism records for this parish are available back to 1804, with some marriages back to 1771.   Images of these registers are available free on the National Library of Ireland Website.

    The Original Church of Ireland records for the parish of Lislee are listed as lost, probably in the PRO fire during the civil war, but some transcripts are held by the Representative Church Body Library in Co. Dublin. As far as I can see from their parish registers list document these only cover baptisms and marriages from about 1809 onward.

  • Thanks for the info.  I heard about the fire but am hoping some descendants exist that recognize the names!  

    Best regards,
