Hi there, Some of my ancestors were baptised at St Nicholas (without) in 1811, 1813 and 1819. I've found them in Catholic registers.
I would appreciate any hints or links to more information about what the physical building was like at that time. I've read a few sites and but I'm a little confused between St Nicholas (within), St Nicholas (without) and Church of Ireland, Catholic Church etc.
Thanks so much!

You may have seen this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St_Nicholas_of_Myra_Without,_(Roman_Catholic)#:~:text=The%20Church%20of%20St%20Nicholas,to%20Saint%20Nicholas%20in%201835.
Likely the church building for 1811-1819 was at the current site but the building was leveled when the current church was build. We have a Dublin volunteer who will be able to answer your question and I will contact him.
