many Baptism and Marriage Registers were photocopied in the 1970s by Pat Purcell. Due to storage problems I had to dispose of most of them but some I used as aids in delivering Genealogy courses. I have finished with all that now and have in recent times disposed of the remainder. I suggest you write to the Parish Priest of Rathvilly, he might be able to help.
