    3. Hello Peter, Thanks for your reply. > The Church of Ireland building does still exist together with its > adjacent church yard, but...The building is now a store (or at least > when we visited about 5 years ago) for the local garage. That is nice to know. > The Bad News is that the whole of the records for this church went up in > smoke during the Irish Civil War of 1921/2. The news is not all bad. Before the fire of 1922 Col. James Grove White transcribed Church of Ireland records of north Cork parishes. The LDS has microfilmed the records transcribed by Grove White, and they appear on three rolls of microfilm, 0596420-1-2. The Church of Ireland parishes/churches included are: Ballyclough, Ballyhooly, Bridgetown & Kilcummer, Buttevant, Carrigleamleary, Castlemagner, Castletownroche, Christchurch (Cork), Churchtown, Clenor, Clonfert & Newmarket, Clonmeen, Doneraile, Drishane, Dromtariff, Farahy, Glanworth, Kanturk, Kilbolane, Kilbrin, Kilshannig, Kilworth, Lisgoold, Litter, Mallow, Marshalstown, Monanimy, Mourne Abbey, and Rahan. The transcription is not complete but it contains some headstone transcriptions for Newmarket. I was lucky enough to find some info relating to my Kenny family. I'm still not sure about the relationship between Newmarket and Clonfert. Does/did Clonfert have Church of Ireland of it's own oe did the Newmaket church serve both?
