Mary Ellen, and others, This St. Josephs Church, Lee Street, Baltimore, was IRISH; This parish was established in 1839 for the Irish living West of Light Street and South of Baltimore Street, and in South Baltimore. The parish closed in 1962. Interment records are sketchy until 1906. Thereby making it difficult to read the actual photocopied records. Also, I have a much clearer meaning of the Latin used in the Matrimonial records. I do believe I can segregate who is what now, much more clearly.

Would you check for Patrick Kelly and Kate Barrett. I know this family attended this church and their children were baptised there. Thanks, LIZ

Liz, I did find a PATRICK KELLY on the record of Nov 2, 1865, although it did not list, that I could make out, who he married. The beginning of the CD stated that "Records of Marriages from 1825 to 1872..... N.B.- No record has been found of many marriages in the years 1867-"68" & "69", from Saint Patricks Roman Cathokic Church. I've tried to find BARRETT, but haven't had much luck because parts of these records are poor quality, and very dark trying to read the names. I was somewhat amused by the question that was put to each marriage couple before the vowels. The Priest had written at the head of the record : Question, Do you promise to have all your children ( should you be blessed with any) brought up in the various Catholic faiths and not to interfere with the religious beliefs of your partner? Feb. 3, 1862 I am going to look on the CD for St.Josephs RC Church also.
