Hi Jean Thanks once again for your info. The confirmation card of 1857 I have for my grandfather Robert James Henry Graham does not have an s on the Andrew. Sorry it was Monkstown. parish. which the incumbent at that time was Rev. Rand?(Randolph) MacDonell. I would think the church St. Andrew would be Presbyterian. When they came to Toronto Canada a Presbyterian Church opened in 1891 which was named Cook's most of the members were Irish. I have printed out your message and I will again, thank you for your help. Regards Mary

Hi, Mary - How neat to have that preciousconfirmation card! You are correct, there ARE Presbyterian churches in Dublin which you can call up in a list at the website DublinChurches.com. So you think it is referring to a church in Dublin or Dublin city in the Monkstown CP rather than the village of Monkstown? At that website there is a "contact us" e-mail address, and perhaps someone interested in genealogy, church history could assist you. Meanwhile, if I find anything else, I will post same to list. You can also do a "google" search for St. Andrew Presbyterian Dublin OR St. Andrew Presbyterian Toronto - Lots of hits come up and you might find something about the history of the church that fits with what you have, especially if there is a connection between the Dublin church and the Toronto church. . You could modify on the "advanced search" with some of your keywords like Monkstown or Graham. Check out the all-Ireland IreAtlas townland search engine at the Leitrim-Roscommon website. You can do a search by entering Monkstown in the Civil Parish field. You will get back 39 townlands in Dublin (several in Cork and one in Meath) are all in that parish. (You don't need to "dot" the CP search, just leave it dotted opposite townlands but do your typing in the CP field.. Maybe something will ring a bell. If I find anything more, I will let you know.
