Families from Mourneabbey, Co Cork

Hi there,

There are Roman Catholic church records available for the diocese of Mourneabbey (Cloyne). These date from 1829 to 1895 for both baptismal and marriage records. You can find these at the National Library of Ireland, Pos. 4999. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for more assistance.

Civil registration records are available from the General Register Office (GRO). These start from 1864 however. You can access the website here: http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm

Could you please post your message on the Buttevant (Cregane) parish page here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/buttevant-cork
