Do not hit reply. Note I did not ask the question; I am answering it. Elizabeth Lucille I am not sure why you think if the couple were Church of Ireland that parish records would not be useful. I could write a long answer based on what I learned reading a regular guide to doing Irish research (in my case, John Grenham's TRACING YOUR IRISH ANCESTORS, but there are others), but you would do better to study it yourself, apply the details, and then be able to order the records mentioned. The book costs about US$20, and no one doing Irish research should be without such a guide. I have found the first ed to be helpful for Church of Ireland (e.g. Anglican) records and the second ed to be best for Roman Catholic ones. But either is good in general. I suggest starting with the city directories and other census substitutes (mostly for male heads of households) to figure out if any events took place that would create a parish record (like a baptism or marriage). Check the LDS site to see what records you can order at a Family History Center [go to the catalog, Ireland, Cork, Cork and also Cork City]. Also, visit the NY Public Library as they have one of the best Irish research collections in the country. I travel 900 miles to use it myself every few years. After about ten years of prep work, I was finally able to push back by Cork people from 1853 to 1829 by paying the Cobh Genealogical Project to search the Church of Ireland records of Cork City. But I emphasize that it took studying many records to narrow things down enough to make this worthwhile. Elizabeth KnowltonEW@Compuserve.com Message text written by INTERNET:CountyCork-L@rootsweb.com >I am attempting to locate a merchant, Jacob Mould, who resided for business in Cork for an unknown period of time ending with his death in 1841. He was most likely in the wool or textile trade. It is unlikely that he was Catholic, his wife was Anglican so parish records are not useful. Can anyone on this list tell me if there were city directories, census etc. where he could be located? How about Civil Court records of wills probated at that time? Newspaper obituaries? funeral notices? How can I find out where an Anglican family would have gone to church? Any other suggestions as to how to tackle this problem? I hope some among you will have a suggestion. Sincerely, Lucille Gordon NYC<
