Hi Jean, Sorry I missed your original posting . There was a Church of Ireland St. Peter's on the North Main St. (or Main St.) in Cork City. This would have been in the Civil Parish of St. Peter. The building is still there but was deconsecrated many years ago is now used by the City Council as an Audio/Video centre for various exhibitions etc. It also serves as the meeting place for the Cork Genealogical Society. Regards, Brendan Jones. ---- Original Message ----- From: Elizabeth W.
