Our ancestor Rutherford Cathcart Hamiliton Porteus was born 1767 in or near the the castle in Monea. His father(no name) is supposeably buried in the vault in the church. Are there any records available online or elsewhere for that church? Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thank you Batbara Porteus

Dear Barbara
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
If you go to Rootsireland you will see that there is a headstone transcription for Rutherford that states:
THE BURYING PLACE OF ROTHERFORD C.H. PORTEUS DIED 17TH JUNE 1867 AGED
80 YEARS.He is buried in plot D20 in Christ Church and died 17th June 1867 and was from the parish of Maguiresbridge.
A Limerick City Library obituary entry refers to Rutherford, though a little vague on where they got the info from. (You can see the word document online if you google 'Rutherford Cathcart Hamiliton Porteus'):
Porteous Rutherford Cathcart Hamilton Cecil Street 18/06/1867 aged 79
